Units of Inquiry

In the Primary Years Programme students engage in large, transdisciplinary topics of study organized as Units of Inquiry (UOI). With each UOI, the classroom becomes a centre of structured inquiry through which students acquire skills and build new knowledge. These units are outlined in our school-wide Programme of Inquiry (POI) and are carefully designed to build from one year to the next as students progress through the school.

EACH UNIT OF INQUIRY:

• Is a significant, relevant and challenging learning experience.
• Involves students in a range of learning activities.
• Requires students to engage in positive action.
• Integrates diverse subject areas whenever meaningful and appropriate.
