All members of the Buist learning community will participate in a virtual, 3-day visit from IB experts. A team of PYP and MYP experts will engage in conversations with leadership, teachers, students, and parents. In addition, they will virtually conduct classroom visits with the IB Programme Coordinator, Ms. Lyle.
Your teachers put hard work, time, and energy into preparations. They reflected on our current practices and drafted action plans depicting how we imagine the future at Buist Academy. These documents, along with the conversations and classroom visits will help our team of experts create a plan for Buist moving forward. We look forward to participating in this virtual program evaluation process and growing from the resulting feedback in the coming years. Thank you for your support!
