At Cypress Park Primary World School, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme is for students from Kindergarten to Grade Three. Its primary focus is on inquiry and concept-based learning; the students are actively involved and engaged in their learning while developing important research and communication skills.

Framework for Enhancing Student Learning (FESL)

Each school is required to have a Framework for Enhancing Student Learning (FESL) document which outlines specific goals and objectives to improve student success.

Cypress Park Primary’s goal is: Written communication skills through inclusive practices.

Music instruction is delivered by a specialist teacher twice a week and is integrated into the Units of Inquiry. “Music education enables all learners to explore, create, perceive, and communicate thoughts, images, and feelings through music…Music education enables students to interact with sound – simultaneously engaging mind, body, and spirit – through creating, performing, listening to, and responding to music.” (Ministry of Education, Music IRP, 2010).

The International Baccalaureate Organization recognizes that learning in more than one language is “essential to an international education and for enriching intercultural understanding”. At Cypress Park, students from Kindergarten through Grade Three receive French instruction. Our French teachers’ primary role is to foster students’ love of learning one of Canada’s official languages. The focus is on oral language development through songs, poetry, games, dialogues, and plays. Developing an appreciation of the French culture in Canada and around the world is also an important part of the program. Our French teacher collaborates with the classroom teachers to find authentic ways of integrating French instruction into the Units of Inquiry.
