Assessments in the PYP
Ongoing assessments, portfolios, reflections, and observations are used to assess student performance.
In the final year, students demonstrate their learning via The Exhibition - a celebration of their knowledge and skills throughout their PYP experience. On completing the PYP, students progress to Secondary School where they can work towards the Apolytirion, and can enhance their qualifications with a range of options including IGCSEs, A-Levels or the IB Diploma.
At our main campus, PASCAL Private Secondary School Lemesos is a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and is pursuing authorisation as an IB World School. Plans are underway at our new Lemesos city centre campus for our Primary School to become a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP).
IB World Schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education that PASCAL International Education believes is important for our students.
Only schools authorised by the IB Organisation can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status does not guarantee that authorisation will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org.
