Primary Years Programme - PYP

Gimnasio Los Pinos School belongs to the International Baccalaureate Organization. Offers and teaches the Primary Years Programme that is present in more than 101 countries, in addition to this it is the only Calendar A school to have this type of pedagogical approach.

Through relevant, stimulating and meaningful learning experiences, the school develops different skills that allow us to relate to our environment, encouraging creativity, curiosity and social learning through inquiry.

Gimnasio Los Pinos aims to generate students capable of reflecting on their own learning and on the world that surrounds them, generating actions that contribute to the development of the community to build a better world. 

Middle Years Programme – MYP

At Gimnasio Los Pinos, our students in the middle years program seek to develop mental flexibility that allows them to solve academic and also emotional situations everyday, through the transfer of interdisciplinary learning to  everyday contexts, where students develop as part of a globalized world.

In this sense, inquiry becomes the element of the search for stimulating learning challenges that allow students to experience the thrill of discovering new ideas from knowledge acquired through personal experiences and intentions, which favor their immediate context at school, and also impact their city, their country and even the world.

The IB middle years program seeks to transform the student through learning experiences and one of the main characteristics it´s the emphasis on interdisciplinary teaching and learning, and as a consequence students are exposed to challenges in each experience, looking for them to understand the world in a complex and globalized way.

The MYP program is characterized by:

  • Allow students to use knowledge areas creatively in order to gain new understanding.
  • Develop in students a mental flexibility that prepares them to continue learning throughout their lives.
  • Foster intellectual rigor, by approaching the study of complex issues and ideas in a holistic manner.
  • Exemplify the importance of collaboration and teamwork across disciplines.
  • Facilitate and encourage the transfer of understanding to new contexts.

Two of the projects that are developed in the MYP middle years program are:

  • My personal project, where children have “the opportunity to carry out an independent and age-appropriate exploration of an area of personal interest. During the process of inquiry, action and reflection, students are
    encouraged to demonstrate and build on their ATL skills” 1
  • Community project, based on “the concept of community and service, and encourages students to explore their right and responsibility to implement service as action in the community. This project gives students the opportunity to become aware of the needs present in various communities and address them through service-learning.” 2
