IB DP / CP Update
IB DP / CP Update
As the school year comes to a close, we want to extend heartfelt congratulations to all juniors completing the first year of their IB Diploma Program coursework! Whether they took an exam or two this year, completed the English Individual Oral this past month, or began brainstorming topics for their internal assessments next year, we are proud of them for reaching these milestones in their journey. Your students have demonstrated growth in critical thinking, perseverance, and international-mindedness—hallmarks of the IB experience. We thank you for your ongoing support in fostering this learning community.
We also want to celebrate our IB Diploma and Career-related Programme candidates for their commitment and progress in meeting the rigorous demands of their respective pathways. For families of rising seniors in the Diploma Programme, please expect a detailed update next week outlining key milestones and responsibilities for the year ahead. Until then, we wish all of our students and families a joyful, restful, and well-earned summer break.
