Learner outcomes relating to PSHE are extensively incorporated into the Units of Inquiry in the International Baccalaureate's Primary Years Programme (PYP) curriculum. Student learning in relation to these PSHE learner outcomes is enhanced by activities during Personal Development Week and other out-of-class events.

The core time for PSHE is during the designated PSHE lessons. There are three PSHE sessions scheduled over each two-week period. The PSHE Learner Outcomes are directly addressed in academic subject areas, Personal Development Weeks, activities, assemblies and other areas of the curriculum, as well as in the designated PSHE lessons.

The core time for PSHE is the tutor group time – an hour and a half – split between two weekly sessions. This is the main procedure for the delivery of the Learner Outcomes in the PSHE programme. The delivery of PSHE learner outcomes is enhanced through academics, educational visits, activities and assemblies.

In our Primary School divisions, students experience the meaning of community through involvement in those to which they belong. They learn about relationships, rights and responsibilities in communities, and that their actions are important to the well-being of their community. Students are provided opportunities for developing leadership skills. The main conduits for the delivery of this learning is through our PYP Units of Inquiry (central ideas of some units may lead to action in some local communities), Student Council initiatives, small-scale initiatives with the local Swiss community and fundraising initiatives for our school charities (both local and international).

All students at the Middle School are involved with service learning initiatives, organised within the homeroom setting in Grades 6 - 8. At Middle School level we aim for students to start taking responsibility and initiative to drive their service learning projects. The teacher’s role is one of support and guidance, nurturing the development of key service learning skills such as leadership, empathy and responsibility. The Middle School service learning initiatives offer opportunities for our students to connect and support the school, the local Swiss and international communities. In addition, Grade 8 students are encouraged to work independently on additional service learning projects through the Personal Development Programme which involves activities that develop teamwork and leadership skills, through service learning and outdoor education. Similarly, a large number of students choose to work on other service learning projects through the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Scheme.

At the High School, the service learning programme has two sections. In Grades 9 and 10, students are expected to organise an initiative to provide support or service to an organisation or community chosen by them or recommended by our Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) coordinator. The group plans and organises their initiative with significant independence but with the support of the CAS coordinator as necessary.

There are community and service programmes for Grade 11 and 12 students that are student-led and guided by the school. All students participate in this programme. Students are expected to show a great degree of independence in choosing the initiatives they wish to pursue, and they are encouraged to set up initiatives themselves. The Personal Development Week (PDW) is a component of this programme and students are encouraged to make links between their own projects and the PDWs in which they participate.

The Primary School PDW is a week in which developmentally appropriate trips are designed for students in Grades Three to Five and take place early in the academic year. The purpose of the Primary School PDW is to help the students develop social awareness and group integration in their new class, as well as provide opportunities to interact and learn about the environment in which they live. All trips will have links with the Units of Inquiry that are being studied by the grades, so that the curriculum is extended beyond the classroom. Students from Grade 3 go on a residential trip to a suitable location, which offers experiences of, and interaction with, the environment. The younger grades attend day trips that are organised throughout the academic year.

The Middle School PDW is a week in which developmentally appropriate trips are designed for students in each grade level and takes place early in the academic year. Each grade level travels to a suitable Central European location outside of Switzerland.

PDW is an ideal opportunity for students to develop independence as well as strengthening relationships with peers and teaching staff across the grade level. The activities the students undertake provide natural links to the academic curriculum whilst building upon our holistic curriculum, developing social awareness, team building and leadership skills. Our aim is that the Middle School PDW fuels and supports units of study in the MYP curriculum whilst developing all aspects of the Learner Profile.

At the High School, PDW is a week, normally scheduled to take place within the first quarter of the school year, in which developmentally appropriate trips to international destinations with links to the academic curriculum are designed for students.

PDW in Grades 9 and 10 is designed for students to develop independence, social awareness and group integration. Trips provide natural links to the academic curriculum while also providing links to our holistic curriculum, such as social awareness, team building and leadership skills. The Grade 9 and 10 trips and activities are designed to take place as grade level events. In Grades 11 and 12 trips focus on experiential service learning, which allow student choice and which may challenge students by placing them in unusual socially demanding situations.
