The Creation Village Primary School Program
At Creation Village World School, we are committed to nurturing young minds and preparing them for a globalized world. Our holistic approach to education is inspired by the principles of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme. We focus on the development of well-rounded, inquisitive, and compassionate individuals. From preschool through 5th grade, our mission is to fulfill each learner’s God-created identity by developing inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who love God.
The Primary School Experience
The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) is designed for students aged 3 to 12 years. Rooted in the belief that education should foster well-rounded individuals with a global perspective, the PYP emphasizes inquiry-based learning, holistic development, and key skills such as critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. Students explore six transdisciplinary themes connecting subjects to real-world issues while developing attributes of the IB Learner Profile: inquirers, thinkers, communicators, and principled individuals.
