The PYP Exhibition: A Growth Milestone
The primary school journey culminates with the “PYP Exhibition”, a collective interdisciplinary project involving Grade 6 students. It is an opportunity to demonstrate the skills acquired, the ability to work in a group and the assimilation of the values of the Learner Profile , symbolically representing the transition to middle school.
Key Points of the Training Offer
Native teachers and specialist teachers
Each subject is taught by qualified professionals: native English teachers for the main subjects, specialist teachers for Italian, Physical Education, Music and Science. This guarantees a high educational standard, with specific attention to each area of the cognitive and creative development of the students.
Key Points of the Training Offer
A rich, bilingual and multidisciplinary curriculum
The programme combines international academic content with the skills required by the Italian system. The six Units of Inquiry integrate subjects such as Science, Social Studies, Mathematics, English Language and PSHE, while Italian is taught by specialists both as a mother tongue and as an additional language, in a progressive six-year path.

Inquiry Learning: The Heart of the PYP
The ISP Primary School adopts the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), an inquiry-based approach that places the student at the centre of the learning process. Through guiding questions, interdisciplinary explorations and meaningful challenges, students develop critical thinking, autonomy and an authentic understanding of the world around them.
The Sections
Early Primary (Grades 1–3)
In the first cycle of the Primary School, which welcomes students from about 5 to 8 years old, the focus is on building the foundations of learning and developing autonomy. Through the Programme of Inquiry approach, children are involved in exploratory activities that foster curiosity, communication and collaboration. The environment is structured to offer emotional security and cognitive stimulation, so that each student can feel welcomed, listened to and guided in the first years of their school career. The acquisition of the English language continues in a natural and integrated way, while the foundations of reading, writing and mathematics are consolidated through meaningful and interdisciplinary experiences.
Upper Primary (Grades 4–6)
In the second phase of the Primary School, which accompanies students from 8 to 11 years old, we work on the consolidation of skills, on more autonomous investigation and on the construction of connections between different disciplines. Students are encouraged to ask questions, reflect, work in groups and face increasingly complex cognitive challenges. The six annual Units of Inquiry are enriched with interdisciplinary content and teaching is led by native teachers and specialists in different areas (Italian, music, physical education, science). The path culminates with the PYP Exhibition, a collective project that represents the synthesis of the skills acquired and the entrance to the Middle Years Programme.
