At Ryan Global School Andheri, we aim to provide our youngest learners with enriching educational experiences that nurture curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning.
As part of the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), our Early Years curriculum acknowledges the uniqueness of every child. We view each learner as intelligent, creative, and resourceful — growing and developing at their own pace.
Our learning environment is designed to feel like home, where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore new concepts and ideas. Through play, discovery, and exploration, students engage with their peers, teachers, families, and community members, building connections that enrich their learning journey.
Early learning in the PYP at Ryan Global School Andheri is a balanced and holistic experience, integrating socio-emotional, physical, and cognitive development while fostering inquiry and imagination.
Play is an integral part of every child’s life and a hallmark of healthy development. The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) recognizes that play and inquiry go hand in hand, providing a powerful foundation for early learning.
Research highlights the effectiveness of the PYP in early years settings, where play becomes a vital pathway for developing language, social, cognitive, and physical skills. Through interactions with peers, children build social confidence, learn to regulate their behavior, and develop a growing sense of independence.
Pretend play plays a particularly important role in language development. As children create storylines, assign roles, and sustain play episodes, they expand their vocabulary, strengthen communication, and explore multiple ways of expressing their thinking.
At Ryan Global School Andheri, play is not just recreation — it is a meaningful, inquiry-driven experience that nurtures creativity, imagination, and holistic growth.
We believe in the play-based approach for our early years and we work to ensure that our students experience the breadth and depth of this approach to enhance their educational experience.
At Ryan Global School Andheri, Early Years learning follows an inquiry-focused, play-based curriculum that is child-centred and encourages independent learning in a warm, safe, and caring environment.
Throughout the year, children engage in four transdisciplinary Units of Inquiry that seamlessly connect concepts and skills across subject areas, fostering deeper understanding and real-world connections. Alongside these units, they develop core competencies in Mathematics and Language Arts, while specialist teachers enrich their learning through Dance, Music, Physical Education, and Visual Arts.
Our curriculum is dynamic, flexible, and inquiry-driven, designed to make learning meaningful, creative, and enjoyable. With regular updates, parents remain active partners in their child’s transdisciplinary learning journey, strengthening the home–school connection.
At Ryan Global School, learning is rooted in student-led inquiry, where learners are encouraged to explore issues of local and global significance, think critically, and take ownership of their learning journey. Within this framework, students develop essential knowledge, skills, and conceptual understanding that prepare them for the future.
We believe in the power of play as the primary vehicle for inquiry. Our programme offers thoughtful and intentional opportunities for child-initiated play, hands-on learning, and meaningful interactions between teachers and students. Through play and exploration, children inquire, experiment, and build theories to make sense of the world around them.
Equally important, we recognize that strong partnerships with parents enhance every child’s growth. At Ryan Global School, we foster collaboration between teachers, students, and parents, creating a community built on trust, support, and shared responsibility for learning.
The curriculum framework allows in depth understanding of skills and concepts, and creates opportunities for the learners to take mindful, authentic and responsible action as an outcome of their learning.
