In the Korean educational field, a new alternative that overcomes the limitations of rote learning is attracting attention.
The IB education is recognized worldwide as an educational system that cultivates students with an international sensibility.
Following this trend, many schools are striving to implement the IB curriculum in their classrooms. However, designing IB classes in a new direction and creating classrooms that did not exist before is a difficult task that is constantly fraught with doubt.

"Are we on the right track?" "Is this the right way to teach?" Authors Jeong Han-sik, Ryu Hyo-jun, and Lee Gwan-gu, the first public school in Korea to receive IB World School certification, say they've faced these questions before.
They share case studies and know-how gained from their experiences 1-2 years ago, and shed light on the path to thinking about the IB education that has recently spread nationwide.
Furthermore, we completed 『IB Elementary Classes with Concept-Based Inquiry』 to enable broader and deeper communication in accordance with the characteristics of IB education, which differs in practice by school and teacher.

This book is a comprehensive guide to the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, or IB PYP.
This book, consisting of four parts, provides a detailed overview of the IB education and IB classes, from its objectives to its system and framework, for those new to IB elementary school classes.
In particular, it provides detailed case studies focusing on concept-based inquiry, serving as a welcome light for professionals taking their first steps toward realizing IB education.
This book's examples systematically illustrate how IB education expands and deepens students' thinking.

This book will give teachers the courage to believe, "I can teach IB, too." It will also provide practical help for designing and implementing classes.
Moreover, it will become a must-read for parents and educators, providing them with a broad insight and understanding of the IB and opening up new horizons in education.
