The primary Years Programme (PYP)
Attitudes
To make an internationally minded person, it is vital that there is also a focus on the development of attitudes towards people, the environment and learning, attitudes that contribute to the well-being of the individual and the group. These attitudes are relevant to both the students and adults in the school.
