IB Philosophy

The learning environment in an IB Middle Years school allows for a student's development in the following areas:

· Holistic Learning- the notion that all knowledge is interrelated and that the curriculum should cater to the development of the whole person, the attributes of which are described by the IB Learner Profile.

· Intercultural Awareness- the notion that school communities should encourage and promote international-mindedness by engaging with ad exploring other cultures, a key feature of international education as reflected in the attributes of the IB Learner Profile.

· Communication- the notion that schools should encourage open and effective communication, important skills that contribute to international understanding as exemplified by the attributes of the IB Learner Profile.

This is accomplished in the Language A classroom in our two IB units, as well as our weekly focus on the different Learner Profiles.
