IB PYP at Germantown Elementary School

PYP Updates: 

This school year, we will be entering a process called, Re-evaluation. In this process we will be working to reauthorize ourselves as an IB PYP School. To do this, we will be getting feedback from all stakeholders to help us reflect on how we are implementing the PYP Programme.

If you are interested in learning more about the structure of the IB PYP Programme at Germantown, please check out the two videos below where our IB Coordinator (Erika Boltz) reviews the basics.

The IB Mission: 

The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end, the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
