Exciting milestone: PYP’s Accreditation Visit

November 1, 2024

Primary students talking to the IB accreditation team.

UWC Maastricht welcomed the International Baccalaureate accreditation team to our campus for the final step in achieving full accreditation for the Primary Years Programme (PYP).

This milestone is essential to our goal of providing a consistent curriculum, shared language, and unified learner profile from our primary to secondary school. UWC Maastricht currently already offers the Middle Years Programme, Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme, equipping students with the knowledge and experience for a meaningful next phase of their lives.

As part of this visit, some of our primary students helped with the proceedings by sharing what UWC Maastricht means to them. With pride, they spoke about their learning, friendships and unique experiences, offering the accreditation team a glimpse into the heart of the UWC community.

We look forward to the team’s insights and feedback as we work together toward full PYP programme accreditation, with hopes of implementing it by next school year.
