Curriculum Overview

At Uppsala International School (UIS), we provide high quality international education for students aged 6-19 following the International Baccalaureate® (IB) curriculum within a modern and well-equipped campus.

Uppsala International School (UIS) follows the IB Curriculum, offering the Primary Years  Programme (PYP) for the elementary school students (Pre-K – Grade 5), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for middle school students (Grade 6–10), and the IB Diploma Programme (DP) and the Career Programme (IBCP)for senior students (Grade 11 and 12).

 

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a global leader in international education—developing inquiring, knowledgeable, confident, and caring young people. IB programmes empower school-aged students to take ownership of their own learning and help them develop future-ready skills.

The Primary Years Program (PYP) is taught at UIS using knowledge and skills derived from six subjects’ areas, as well as transdisciplinary skills, with a powerful emphasis on inquiry. The PYP is flexible and accommodates the demands of a range of curricula and provides the best preparation for students to engage in the IB Middle Years and Diploma Programmes respectively.

The MYP is a framework that nurtures the whole child, placing equal importance to all subjects, as well as skills, socio-emotional learning, and conceptual understandings.

Building a solid academic foundation, the MYP develops students’ confidence in managing their own learning and making connections between their learning in the classroom and the real world.

The IB Diploma Programme at UIS supports students to gain the required skills and knowledge that will prepare them for professional life, university and beyond. The IB Diploma Programme is rigorous, it is a challenge. Students are stimulated intellectually, there are lots of opportunities for critical thinking and research.

BTEC, the acronym for the British and Technology Education Council, is a specialist work-related qualification which, like the IBCP, combines practical learning with subject and theory content. This is the ideal pathway for those who wish to hone their professional skills prior to entering the workplace or going to university.

An international Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma is a two-year qualification equivalent to three A-Levels. International BTEC qualifications are accepted at many universities around the world.
