Curriculum

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a global leader in international education — developing inquiring, knowledgeable, confident, and caring young people. The 4 programmes within the IB empower school-aged students to take ownership in their own learning and help them develop future-ready skills to make a difference and thrive in a world that changes fast.

The 4 programmes are:

  • Primary Years Programme (PYP) for ages 3 – 12
  • Middle Years Programme (MYP) for ages 11 – 16
  • Diploma Programme (DP) for ages 15 – 19
  • Career-Related Programme (CP) for ages 15 – 19

The Primary Years Programme nurtures and develops young students as caring and agentic participants in a lifelong journey of learning. The PYP offers an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum framework that builds conceptual understanding.

Quarry Bay School uses the Primary Years Programme as its curriculum framework and has been an authorised IB World School since May 2010. The school is currently preparing for an evaluation visit in 2025. These visits allow us as a school to celebrate our best practices and to look for future possibilities and strengths.
