Transdisciplinary - Across and Blending all Academic Disciplines

With the IB PYP at KIS, we are committed to structured inquiry as the vehicle for learning. Six transdisciplinary themes provide the framework for exploration in learning and the construction of knowledge.

KIS teachers and students are guided by these transdisciplinary themes—as they design Units of Inquiry for learning and study. Through these Units of Inquiry, students develop an understanding of important concepts, acquire essential skills and knowledge, develop particular attitudes and learn to take socially responsible action.

The IBO uses the term “transdisciplinary” to describe a discipline that applies across all disciplines—it is interconnected and can be applied across all subject areas and applied to real life. A transdisciplinary concept stretches across math, science, English, geography, and ties it all together—it is not isolated to one subject.
