What is PYP Exhibition

  • 17 July 2018

PYP exhibition is all about ‘Student Learning’. It’s a culminating event of a primary students’ education. It represents the culmination of who our students are as learners and demonstrate what they achieved in all areas of the Primary Years Programme. An IB PYPian learns to be an internationally-minded student who progresses through a collaborative, critical thinking journey of inquiry throughout the primary years. They explore local and global issues as well as learn to make connections and dig deeper. In the final year of PYP, this exhibition involves students working together to conduct an in-depth inquiry where they identify, investigate and find solutions to real-life issues and problems.

PYP students ask and answer three key concepts about their topic

  • Action – As part of the exhibition, students must act on their inquiry on the local and global issues that they have investigated.

The impact of the PYP exhibition

PYP exhibition help students develop and display the attributes of an IB learner profile. It engages them in developing their critical literacy and inquiry skills. The action element of the exhibition was seen as a key element in developing international-mindedness in students. India’s best international schools encourage parent’s involvement to build confidence in students and help them able to act independently. This apart, the IB schools craft the exhibition process carefully to plan inquiry learning skills and group-work skills into the experience. Schools who had done a number of exhibitions had clearer structures and the participants understood their roles more clearly.
