THE IB CURRICULUM
Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro (EARJ) is a fully authorized International Baccalaureate® Primary Years Programme (PYP) school.
The IB curriculum aims to deliver challenging, high quality programmes of international education. IB programmes are concerned with students’ social, emotional and physical well-being.
The PYP is focused on children aged 3 to 11, designed to inspire them to take ownership of their learning from an early stage.
