Hazeldale Curriculum and Policies
Hazeldale teachers and administrators collaborated to align our school's policies and procedures to the Primary Years Programme. These documents provide guidelines that will help as we shift our philosophy to support our students on their journcy of becoming global citizens that are ready to make the world a better and more peaceful place.
Hazeldale Programme of Inquiry
Our Programme of Inquiry is a constant work in progress. This document gives an overview of the transdisciplinary units that are taught at each grade level. Units in a PYP school are conceptual. The central ideas should be transferrable to any place around the world. Students receive all of their science and social studies learning within the context of a unit of inquiry.

Assessment PolicyWhen you think of assessment, you probably think of the paper and pencil tests you took as a child. Assessment is much different at a PYP school. We believe that students can demonstrate their knowledge in a variety of ways. We also believe that students should play an active role in reflecting on their progress and setting goals. Our assessment policy lays out philosophy and procedures to reflect our beliefs about assessment that are aligned to the PYP.

Language PolicyLanguage is the essential tool for communicating in the world today. As a PYP school, we value and support not just English, but our world language (Spanish) and each child's mother tongue.
