The Chinese Program and IB PYP
Aligned with the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme framework (IB PYP), Tessa International School follows a curriculum that integrates the U.S. Common Core standards alongside the Chinese curriculum. This comprehensive approach ensures that our students receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for future academic success.
Tessa International School stands out as one of the few institutions in the New Jersey/New York City area that offers the International Baccalaureate PYP in a Mandarin bilingual setting.
The IB PYP is a globally recognized program, implemented in nearly 2,000 schools across the U.S. and in over 5,500 schools worldwide. This approach emphasizes developing the whole child through critical thinking, creativity, and global awareness, equipping students with skills for success in an interconnected world. The IB framework not only fosters academic excellence but also develops skills that extend far beyond the classroom, shaping adaptable citizens who are well-prepared to thrive in any school system.
