About IB PYP

Where does the PYP fit in the IB journey?

The IB continuum spans age 3–19 across four programmes. The PYP is the very beginning — building the curiosity, inquiry skills, and Learner Profile attributes that carry through to the IBDP.

Career-related Programme

The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum for students aged 3–12. It focuses on developing the whole child — not just academic knowledge, but curiosity, empathy, reflection, and global awareness. Learning is organised around six Transdisciplinary Themes that connect all subject areas to real-world questions.

Unlike traditional curricula where subjects are taught in isolation, the PYP frames every unit through a transdisciplinary theme and a central idea — a big concept that students investigate through the inquiry cycle: tuning in, finding out, sorting out, going further, making conclusions, and taking action.

The PYP is not assessed through external exams — schools design their own Units of Inquiry (UOI) around the six themes. The culminating assessment is the PYP Exhibition in the final year, where students independently investigate a real-world issue.

🔍
Inquiry-based learning
PYP students learn by asking questions, investigating, and reflecting. Our tutors don't just give answers — they guide children through the inquiry process, building confidence and independent thinking.
🌍
Concept-based, not fact-based
PYP builds understanding through key concepts — form, function, causation, change, connection, perspective, responsibility, reflection. Our tutors use concept-led questioning that mirrors how PYP teachers teach.
🚀
Builds MYP and DP foundations
Students who graduate from PYP with strong inquiry skills, Learner Profile attributes, and ATL habits adapt far more easily to MYP and eventually the demands of the IBDP.

Transdisciplinary Themes

The 6 PYP Transdisciplinary Themes

Every PYP Unit of Inquiry is framed around one of six Transdisciplinary Themes. Our tutors understand each theme deeply and help students engage with the central ideas, lines of inquiry, and key concepts within each unit.

📌 Learner Profile in the Exhibition
PYP Exhibition students are expected to demonstrate Learner Profile attributes throughout their investigation — and to reflect specifically on which attributes they developed. Our tutors coach Exhibition students to identify and evidence their Learner Profile growth in the final presentation.
PYP Exhibition

The PYP Exhibition — Grade 5

The culminating PYP experience

The PYP Exhibition is completed by all students in their final year of PYP (Grade 5, typically age 10–11). It is a student-led, collaborative inquiry into a real-world issue of significance, guided by one of the six Transdisciplinary Themes. Students work in small groups or individually, supported by a mentor, and present their findings to the school community.

The Exhibition is the PYP's most significant assessment — it brings together all elements of the programme: transdisciplinary thinking, ATL skills, the Learner Profile, and the concepts of the PYP. It is the equivalent of the MYP Personal Project and the IBDP Extended Essay.

🎯
Choosing a Transdisciplinary Theme
Students identify a real-world issue connected to one of the six themes. The most popular Exhibition theme is Sharing the Planet. Our tutors help students choose a focused, manageable topic.
🔍
The Inquiry Process
Tuning in → Finding out → Sorting out → Going further → Making conclusions → Taking action. Our tutors guide each stage with age-appropriate research strategies.
📣
Presentation to the community
Students present their findings to parents, teachers, and peers. Our tutors coach presentation skills, visual display preparation, and confident verbal communication.

Why Sev7n

Why Sev7n for IB PYP tutoring

1
PYP-trained educators — not generic tutors
Our PYP tutors understand the transdisciplinary framework, the inquiry cycle, and the Learner Profile. They don't just teach content — they teach in the way that aligns with how PYP schools teach, so sessions reinforce rather than contradict school learning.
2
Concept-led coaching — not drill and practice
PYP values understanding over memorisation. Our tutors use the same key concepts (form, function, causation, change, connection, perspective, responsibility, reflection) that PYP teachers use — building genuine conceptual understanding.
3
Exhibition support — from topic to presentation
The PYP Exhibition is the most significant PYP assessment and many families feel unsure how to support it at home. Our tutors guide the full Exhibition journey — inquiry question, research process, ATL skill development, and final presentation preparation.
4
Building MYP-ready habits from the start
Students who graduate from PYP with strong inquiry habits, research skills, and reflective practice find the MYP significantly more manageable. Our tutors explicitly develop the ATL skills in the PYP that carry forward.
5
All subject areas — one platform
Whether your child needs PYP Mathematics, Language, Science, Social Studies, or general Units of Inquiry support — Sev7n has experienced PYP educators across every subject area. No juggling multiple providers.
6
Sessions recorded on Sev7n LMS
Every PYP session is saved to your family's dashboard. Parents can review what was covered, and children can revisit explanations and activities — particularly helpful for Units of Inquiry where content changes each term.
Parent Stories

What PYP parents say about Sev7n

★★★★★

"My daughter was anxious about her PYP Exhibition — she didn't know how to narrow her topic or start her inquiry. Her Sev7n tutor broke the process into clear stages and helped her choose a focused question about water access. She presented with such confidence. We were genuinely moved."

★★★★★

"Our son was struggling with PYP Mathematics — not because he couldn't calculate, but because he didn't understand the concepts behind the numbers. His Sev7n tutor approached maths the way his school does — through inquiry and real-world connections. His confidence and understanding transformed."

★★★★★

"I was nervous about PYP tutoring because I didn't want someone drilling my daughter with worksheets — that's not the IB way. Sev7n understood immediately. Her tutor used inquiry questions and the Learner Profile language her school uses. It felt like an extension of school, not a contradiction of it."

★★★★★

"My son was moving from a national curriculum school into a PYP school mid-year. He had no experience with transdisciplinary learning or Units of Inquiry. His Sev7n tutor helped him understand the PYP way of learning within weeks. The transition was smooth — much smoother than we expected."

FAQs

IB PYP — frequently asked questions

What age group is the IB PYP for? +
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is designed for students aged 3–12, covering Early Years through Grade 5 or Grade 6 depending on the school's structure. It is the first programme in the IB continuum, followed by the MYP (ages 11–16) and the IBDP (ages 16–19). Sev7n offers PYP tutoring for all grade levels within the programme.
How is IB PYP different from a regular primary school curriculum? +
PYP differs from most national primary curricula in three key ways: (1) Transdisciplinary learning — subjects are not taught in isolation but connected through units that address big concepts and real-world questions; (2) Inquiry-based approach — students investigate, question, and construct understanding rather than receiving information passively; (3) Learner Profile development — the PYP explicitly develops 10 attributes (Inquirer, Knowledgeable, Thinker, Communicator, etc.) that define the kind of learner and person the IB aims to develop. These differences mean that generic tutoring approaches often don't work well for PYP students — they need educators who understand and replicate the PYP methodology.
What is a PYP Unit of Inquiry? +
A Unit of Inquiry (UOI) is the primary vehicle for learning in the PYP. Each unit is organised around: a Transdisciplinary Theme (one of six), a Central Idea (a conceptual statement), Lines of Inquiry (guiding questions), and Key Concepts (the big ideas that frame understanding). Schools typically plan 6 units per year, each lasting 4–8 weeks. Students investigate the central idea through multiple subject lenses — so a unit on water conservation might involve Science (water cycles), Social Studies (access to clean water), Maths (data on usage), and Language (persuasive writing about conservation). Our tutors support UOI learning within each specific unit your child's school is running.
When should we start PYP Exhibition support? +
The PYP Exhibition is typically due in April/May of Grade 5. We recommend starting tutoring support 10–12 weeks before the due date — in January or February. The earliest and most critical decisions are topic selection and inquiry question — these determine the quality of the whole project. Students who choose a vague or overly broad topic struggle throughout. Our tutors help students narrow their focus early, making the rest of the Exhibition significantly more manageable.
