Teachers act as partners and facilitators who facilitate new learning opportunities and active participation by students. Students take the responsibility of their own learning, compare, contrast, establish connections and then reflect on what they learnt. This way students look at learning from the other side of the table and rather than getting probed to perform actions, chart out their own path of learning through answering relevant questions.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"d324b1ce-d638-bf89-e77c-5d916d4df18d\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;d324b1ce-d638-bf89-e77c-5d916d4df18d&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"14837\" class=\"elementor elementor-14837\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34ff92c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"34ff92c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0db06fe exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0db06fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/sg\/admissions\/campus-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"787\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/globalindianschool.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Campus-Tour-banner-min-jpg.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-14843\" alt=\"Campus Tour banner-min\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalindianschool.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Campus-Tour-banner-min-jpg.webp 787w, https:\/\/globalindianschool.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Campus-Tour-banner-min-300x69.webp 300w, https:\/\/globalindianschool.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Campus-Tour-banner-min-768x176.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"c88fa851-e60d-473c-f40c-83bc8650f4db\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;c88fa851-e60d-473c-f40c-83bc8650f4db&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"3d2a3369-4e4a-96df-01b9-c5cdd1a23a39\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;3d2a3369-4e4a-96df-01b9-c5cdd1a23a39&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\"><strong data-w-id=\"ec64c3a9-717a-bfae-bb31-d65addbb60aa\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;ec64c3a9-717a-bfae-bb31-d65addbb60aa&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">Teaching is not confined to traditional subjects<\/strong> Transdisciplinary approach is the key to learning in IB PYP. The students do not study traditional subjects like math, science and language in a compartmentalised manner, but rather explore a central idea, like, who we are? and use math, English and science concepts to answer various questions associated with the central idea. In the process they learn the ideas associated with traditional subjects.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"72bbcb27-69d5-8ad9-c70a-5a12a36739ab\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;72bbcb27-69d5-8ad9-c70a-5a12a36739ab&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\"><strong data-w-id=\"0dda9ca1-d4db-d205-a6ea-e7b8dfd8a158\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;0dda9ca1-d4db-d205-a6ea-e7b8dfd8a158&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">Inquiry is the key to learning<\/strong> Students in a typical PYP class will be seen exploring questions like, Why does this matter?, How is this connected to other ideas? and What can we do with this knowledge? Teachers create a programme of inquiry based on the transdisciplinary themes and Through a series of questions students establish connection and then reflect on the derived answers to master various concepts.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"2ede301f-b720-1b7f-f81f-487233b33b20\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;2ede301f-b720-1b7f-f81f-487233b33b20&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-embed w-script\" data-w-id=\"cdf4c74f-e419-3b9b-9776-2137762a27b5\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;cdf4c74f-e419-3b9b-9776-2137762a27b5&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"14675\" class=\"elementor elementor-14675\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a8eb2e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5a8eb2e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6052a40 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6052a40\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"\/sg\/admissions\/enquiry-form#enquiry-form\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Secure Your Child\u2019s Future: Enroll Today!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bcf50fd exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"bcf50fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"\/sg\/admissions\/campus-tour#campus-tour-new\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Explore Our Campus And Know More<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<p data-w-id=\"9916d0e9-ea3f-6b67-9372-19fe34380cd7\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;9916d0e9-ea3f-6b67-9372-19fe34380cd7&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"1a62168f-29b4-2555-e59e-02a20d709d80\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;1a62168f-29b4-2555-e59e-02a20d709d80&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">Unlike traditional learning approaches, PYP does not rely on rote learning and acquisition of knowledge that is limited to books.
