Overview POI

IB uses an inquiry approach to student learning that involves students in questioning, exploration, research, and critical thinking to take ownership of their learning.

The Program of Inquiry (POI) serves as a framework for the curriculum and illustrates the major concepts that students will be exploring. It is made up of six units per grade level that help students gain an understanding of themselves and the world around them.

These six units called Transdiciplinary Themes are used as the basis for curriculum development: Sharing the planet, Who we are, Where we are in place and time,How we express ourselves,How the world works, and How we organize ourselves.
