The PYP Exhibition: Information for Parents






What is the PYP Exhibition?
  • Culmination of PYP
  • A rite of passage from the PYP to the Middle School
  • A celebration of learning
  • A demonstration of what it means to be a PYP student, applying what they have learned and who they have become throughout their journey in the PYP (essential elements)
  • an inquiry that starts from personal interest and passions, but extends into real world local and global issues  
  • Individual and group inquiry
  • Student centered 


What does the PYP Exhibition look like?

Goal: Following official PYP guidelines students will stage an exhibition demonstrating their understanding of the PYP.

Role: Each student will contribute to the exhibition and make a presentation.

Audience: All members of the school community and parents

Situation: Students decide what action to take to solve an identifiable local problem that also related to the bigger world.

Product or performance: PYP Exhibition (the opportunity for students to share their message with the community and world!)

Enduring Understanding:
Have the children made a difference in the community and/or world and shown an understanding of the PYP essential elements?

How can parents help?

Parents can:

  • keep informed about the process by reading and reflecting on the weekly blog updates 
  • support and encourage their children 
  • provide knowledge or areas of expertise to their child 
  • help to locate resources – people, places, media and information
