PYP
The Seisen Elementary curriculum is a guided inquiry-based curriculum using the internationally recognised Primary Years Programme (PYP) as a curricular framework. The PYP organises curriculum into integrated Units of Inquiry which provide a meaningful context for learning.
Girls of each grade level participate in six PYP Units of Inquiry derived primarily from these subject disciplines: Science, Social Studies, Personal Development and The Arts. Other subject disciplines are integrated into the Units of Inquiry including Math, Japanese, Music, Information Technology, P.E. and Religion, to enhance the learning experience.
Each Unit of Inquiry is organised around a Central Idea and Inquiries Into. The Central Idea is a broad concept through which content, skills , the Learner Profile, and PYP Attitudes are developed. The Inquiries Into are an elaboration of the Central Idea and give specific focus to the unit.
