UWC Maastricht proudly offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP), designed to ignite a lifelong love of learning in young minds. As we work towards becoming an IB World School, we align with a global network of institutions committed to high-quality, challenging and international education—values that are central to our approach.
The PYP provides an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum that encourages students to build deep conceptual understanding. This student-centered approach, designed for children aged 4-11, draws on cutting-edge educational research and the collective experience of IB World Schools. Through inquiry and reflection, PYP students develop knowledge, skills and the attributes of the IB Learner Profile, preparing them to make a positive difference in their own lives, their communities and the world beyond.
Specialist Lessons
Our students enjoy a range of specialist lessons in English Language Acquisition, Dutch Language Acquisition, Dutch Language and Literature, Physical & Health Education (PHE), Outdoor Learning and Music. These subjects are taught by specialist teachers in purpose-built learning environments, ensuring that each lesson is enriching and impactful. Specialist teachers collaborate closely with classroom educators to ensure that the learning experience is both transdisciplinary and deeply meaningful for each student.
