About the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP)
Crow Leadership Academy is a candidate school for the PYP. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy-a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education that we believe is important for our students.
*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.

Transdisciplinary Learning at Crow Leadership Academy
The PYP uses a transdisciplinary model of learning that develops the academic, social, and emotional needs of our students. Transdisciplinary learning is developed and guided by student interests and questions that go across and beyond traditional subjects. The curriculum at Crow Leadership Academy is organized into six transdisciplinary themes:
- Who we are
- Where we are in time and place
- How we express ourselves
- How the world works
- How we organize ourselves
- Sharing the planet
Each unit is enhanced with knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills, dispositions, and action. Through inquiry and concept-based learning, our students explore rigorous and engaging ideas and issues of global significance. The collection of transdisciplinary units, called the Programme of Inquiry, is displayed in our front hallway and can be accessed below.

Leadership and Service at Crow Leadership Academy
At Crow Leadership Academy, we empower our students to use their strengths, interests, and knowledge to make a difference in the lives of others. Our students are guided and supported to take action in their local and global communities. Students have the opportunity to serve the community in a variety of ways by joining either the Helping Hands club (K-2) or the Service Club (3-6). Crow also partners annually with Feed My Starving Children in a truly special event that brings our service to the global community.
