### Primary education

ESF primary schools follow the IB Primary Years Programme, and cater to students from Year 1 to Year 6\. The PYP centres on the development of the whole child and provides for children's academic, social, physical, emotional and cultural needs. Students learn the PYP's six transdisciplinary themes, and develop and understanding of concepts, which allows them to make connections both within the subject, and to other subjects. Students are taught using an inquiry\-based approach, and are encouraged to be curious and to interact to issues locally and globally. In addition, all students are taught Chinese and the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. They also learn about Chinese culture, and their history and society.
