The Primary Years Programme is designed for students in Kindergarten through Grade 5 or Grade 6. It engages students in a uniquely international program focused on the total growth of the developing child, touching hearts as well as minds. It embraces a structured in-depth inquiry into curriculum that complements the Alberta Learning Program of Studies.
The International Baccalaureate Primary Years & Middle Years Programmes are for all students.
Bishop David Motiuk Catholic Elementary and Junior High School is an authorized IB World School, offering the International Baccalaureate Primary and Middle Years Programmes.
