The PYP Program of Inquiry (POI) is organized around six transdisciplinary themes. It provides a broad, conceptual and connected learning experience for our students. The teachers at Jessie Thackrey Preschool, Mount Daniel and Oak Street elementary schools have carefully aligned and integrated the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs) within these themes. They teach the standards as a tool for helping the students understand the greater concepts and ideas of these themes. This allows students to transfer and connect learning in local and global contexts.

The six transdisciplinary themes are described below. Students inquire into, and learn about, these globally significant issues in the context of units of inquiry. Each grade level teaches a unit of inquiry that addresses a central idea relevant to a particular part of each theme.
