Xi’an Hanova’s Primary Years Programme (PYP) ensures
that learning is engaging, relevant and challenging in order
to meet the diverse needs of each student. Xi’an Hanova
school follows a transdisciplinary model, where themes
of global significance frame the learning throughout the
primary years. Students are encouraged to make connections between subject areas, and traditional curriculum
areas are used as lenses to help students inquire into big
ideas and explore significant local and global issues.
which is still based upon the IB Diploma. The academic
subjects and core components are exactly the same and
are assessed according to official IB DP criteria, but with
less subjects required for the Hanova Diploma. In addition,
all Diploma students will participate in the Core Components of Extended Essay (EE), Theory of Knowledge (TOK)
and Community, Activity and Service (CAS). Students will
receive official IB certification based upon what IB subjects
and core components they have passed successfully.
