Primary Years Programme (PYP Candidate Status 2008)

Our school was founded on the British National Curriculum. Using this as a base we have developed our curriculum further by adopting aspects of the South African curriculum in order to make our learning relevant to children learning in this country using the PYP as a framework for teaching methodology, skills and concepts. The International School of Hout Bay is currently in the candidate phase of implementation of the PYP. This means that the school is in the process of putting in place all the processes and resources needed to deliver the programme, including the training of teachers. The school must then implement the full programme for at least one year, which is where the school is at the moment.

We, the International School of Hout Bay, hope to enter the final phase if the authorization process in 2009 when the school will be visited by an IB team who will evaluate the school�s capacity to deliver the programme. If the outcome is positive, the school becomes authorized to offer the programme and attains the status of IB World School for the Primary Years as has already been achieved for the Diploma Programme.
