Seven Peaks School’s Primary Years Programme (PYP) nurtures curious, confident, and compassionate learners through inquiry-based, student-centered education. Rooted in the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework, our PYP inspires students from Pre-K through Grade 5 to ask questions, explore deeply, and connect their learning to the world around them.
Through transdisciplinary units, hands-on experiences, and a strong focus on social-emotional development, students develop foundational skills in reading, writing, math, and science—while also growing as thinkers, communicators, and global citizens. At Seven Peaks, children don’t just learn facts—they learn how to learn.
Our inquiry-driven approach ensures every child is seen, heard, and empowered to take ownership of their learning journey.

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) at Seven Peaks School empowers students in grades 6–8 to think critically, act with purpose, and engage deeply with the world around them. Grounded in the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy, our MYP bridges academic challenge with real-world relevance, encouraging students to make meaningful connections across disciplines.
Through project-based learning, design thinking, and global-minded inquiry, students develop essential skills in communication, collaboration, research, and self-management. With a strong emphasis on student agency and reflective thinking, our middle schoolers grow into compassionate leaders, ready to thrive in high school and beyond.
At Seven Peaks, the MYP is more than a curriculum—it’s a launchpad for confident, capable changemakers.
