Little Grammar (Prep-6)
IB Primary Years Programme
Little Grammar is what we colloquially call our Prep - Grade 6 classes, located on the Junior Campus. Since 2021, Launceston Grammar’s Junior Campus has been an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, implementing the Primary Years Programme (PYP).
Taught in schools across the globe, the student-centred IB PYP will nurture and develop your child to be a caring, active participant in a lifelong journey of learning. The PYP has become a world leader in future-focused education. It is an example of best educational practice globally, responding to the challenges and opportunities facing young students in our rapidly changing world.
At our Junior Campus, we address the Australian Curriculum and maintain high standards of literacy and numeracy, but the IB PYP allows us to go further, by making students agents of their own learning. Guided by six transdisciplinary themes of global significance (for example, ‘who we are’ and ‘how we express ourselves’), students broaden their learning by developing their conceptual understandings, strengthening their knowledge and skills across, between and beyond subject areas.
What’s more, as an IB PYP School, your child’s teachers are part of a highly active global community, connected to knowledgeable educators from 150 countries around the world, enabling them to draw on the best approaches to primary education.
