The classroom curriculum
Learning in CAIS classrooms is framed through the three IB programmes, the PYP, the MYP and the DP. The IBO has developed these programmes over decades based on research and practice. Learning through these programmes is based on a socio-constructivism learning model where students play an active, central role in constructing their own understandings- i.e. learning.
