Our Programme of Inquiry (POI) 

Learning across the Primary School is organised through a Programme of Inquiry (POI). This provides a coherent framework for exploring significant ideas and real-world issues through six transdisciplinary themes: 

The Programme of Inquiry is planned across the grades so that students build on prior learning, explore increasingly complex ideas and make meaningful connections between subject areas. 

 The design of units that students inquire into is based on age-appropriate needs, their personal interests, and fulfillment of syllabus requirements as defined by the National Curriculum. 

Collaborative planning involves all teachers of the same grade level, and the study of each unit takes anywhere from four to six weeks. 

At each grade level, different modules are selected for implementation based on the planning of each section.  The Transdisciplinary Units of Inquiry are incorporated into all subject areas: Greek and English Language, Mathematics, Natural and Social Sciences, Arts (Theater, Play, Music), Personal and Social Development/Physical Education. 

Each Unit of Inquiry is based on the concept-based learning approach, which is as follows: 

Through the above, students are suitably guided to organize knowledge in their own unique way, to discover patterns, common principles and processes, and to reflect on what they already know and connect it to unfamiliar contexts. As a result, they are better able to understand and process the constantly evolving information of the modern world. 

Students develop and share ideas, explore and connect knowledge with real life, and develop skills that put them at the heart of the learning process. Their role is active and catalytic, thus transforming them into protagonists in the learning journey.
