PROGRAM OF INQUIRY
The Program of Inquiry is a matrix made up of the six transdisciplinary themes running vertically, and the age groups running horizontally. Organizing the curriculum around the six transdisciplinary themes provides a context for learning. It enables students to experience a balance of subject-specific knowledge, concepts and skills in order to develop an understanding of the transdisciplinary themes. Students inquire into, and learn about, globally significant issues in the context of the units of inquiry, each of which addresses a central idea relevant to a particular transdiciplinary theme. Lines of inquiry are identified in order to explore the scope of the central idea for each unit. These units collectively constitute the school’s programme of inquiry.

Each grade has six units of inquiry every year which last from four to six weeks.
