The IB does not own or manage any schools. Instead, it works with schools that share a commitment to international education. These schools:
share the mission and commitment of the IB to quality international education
play an active and supporting role in the worldwide community of IB schools
share their knowledge and experience in the development of the IB programmes
are committed to the professional development of teachers and administrators.

The IB learner profile is the IB mission statement translated into a set of learning outcomes for the 21st century.
The learner profile provides a long-term vision of education. It is a set of ideals that can inspire, motivate and focus the work of schools and teachers, uniting them in a common purpose.

PYP Pedagogy The PYP promotes inquiry as a
pedagogical approach
The PYP develops a concept-driven framework
Concepts vs. Content
The PYP strikes a balance between the transdisciplinary programme of inquiry, traditional disciplines, and standards
![Page 20: International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme Overview November 18, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062815/568168d9550346895ddfcddf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
As well as presenting schools with a philosophical perspective on what international education may be, the PYP prescribes a curriculum framework of essential elements—knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes, and action—each of which is reflected in the learner profile and is a reference point for the construction of a school’s curriculum.
