At UWC Maastricht, we are proud to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) for students between the ages of 4 and 11. This programme is designed to ignite a passion for learning in our young students, focusing on inquiry-based learning that encourages children to ask questions, explore their interests and develop critical thinking skills.
Our approach fosters curiosity and a love for discovery, empowering students to explore the world around them in a meaningful and engaging way. Through the PYP, we guide children to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners. The programme nurtures their social, emotional and intellectual growth, helping them develop into confident individuals who understand the importance of their roles in the global community.As part of UWC Maastricht, our Primary Years Programme is an integral part of a seamless educational journey, where students continue their learning through the Middle Years Programme, Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme. Together, these programmes equip students with the skills and values needed to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond. Join us in inspiring your child’s potential and nurturing their development as a globally minded citizen!
