Mercer’s Programme of Inquiry
The Five Essential Elements
In the PYP a balance is sought between acquisition of essential knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understanding, demonstration of positive attitudes, and taking of responsible action. In terms of achieving this balance, the five essential elements of the written curriculum are emphasized. The image below gives a picture of these elements.
