Ashwood Glen’s IB Primary Years (PYP) Kindergarten offers a nurturing introduction to school, where young learners build confidence, curiosity, and a love for discovery. Rooted in the IB Primary Years Programme, our JK and SK classrooms emphasize inquiry, purposeful play, and student voice.
Children ask questions, explore ideas, and express themselves meaningfully. Guided by qualified IB teachers, students follow a transdisciplinary curriculum integrating literacy, numeracy, science, and the arts — building essential skills and connections.
IB Kindergarten also includes specialist instruction in French, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, and Physical Education, enriching learning through creativity, movement, and global awareness.
This foundation fosters independence, empathy, and confidence — preparing students to thrive in the Primary and Middle Years Programmes with curiosity and a future-ready mindset.
Kindergarten (JK & SK)
Through six transdisciplinary themes, our IB Kindergarten students explore big ideas that help them understand themselves, others, and the rapidly changing world they’ll grow into.
These themes are woven across all subjects — language, math, science, and the arts—creating real-world learning and meaningful connections that build confidence, critical thinking, and future-ready skills from the start.
