Inquiry-Based Learning
Inquiry-based learning is an approach to education in which students are fully engaged by asking questions, reaching for answers, making bigger-picture connections, reflecting on learning, and taking action.
Teachers in Hammurabi’s International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years and Middle Years Programme facilitate the understanding of specific content and skills outlined in our curricula, but in ways that allow students to connect, be curious about, and build their own understanding of the content and skills through a deeper grasp of concepts. This unique educational approach prepares students for the rigor and demands of the world-renowned IB Diploma Programme taught in grades 11 and 12.
Six Units of Inquiry
As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, Hammurabi International School delivers its rigorous and dynamic curricula (california,) through frameworks such as the Primary Years Programme (PYP)’s Units of Inquiry (for grades preschool-5th). The six Units of Inquiry are based on global themes that provide conceptual connections across subject areas, such as Who We Are, How the World Works, and Where We Are in Place and Time.
