"How We Organize Ourselves" in the IB PYP is a transdisciplinary theme focusing on the interconnectedness of human-made systems and communities, covering organizational structures, societal decision-making, and economic activities. It explores how people structure their lives, create rules, and build systems to function, impacting both humanity and the environment.​

A Summer of Neighborhood Inquiry:

This summer, our campus transforms into a vibrant, mini-community where our youngest learners become the researchers of their own world. Our "COMMUNITY HELPERS" program is designed to encourage  students to explore the responsibility, connection, and care that keep our  neighborhood moving.

 

Fairmont students won’t just learn about our local heroes, they will practice being a helper. This summer we will focus on:

 

The helpers who HEAL (Doctors, Nurses & Dentists)

The helpers who PROTECT (Police, Firefighters & Lifeguards)

The helpers who CREATE (Artists & Chefs)
