• The IB Learner Profile is the Foundation

     

    The IB learner profile creates "educational opportunities for students that promote healthy relationships, individual and shared responsibility, including interpersonal competencies that support effective teamwork and collaboration. "

    The language we use with students is paramount and creates the culture of the school. The more we use the language of the IB learner profile in constructive and meaningful ways, the more students will reach to exemplify these attributes.
