Secondary School Newsletter

Dear Secondary School students and families,

Welcome! Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education.

Now in its 6th year, our new-old division and its team look forward to continuing to build a safe and inclusive learning environment, within and without the classroom, for all of its learners. Be this through field trips, service as action projects, interdisciplinary units of study, Group 4 interactions, Personal Project and/or TOK Exhibitions, and/or Week Without Walls and SuperNOVA activities. In a similar vein, we look forward to the next steps in the Professional Growth and Development policy for our faculty and staff, focusing on meaningful assessment and the hidden curriculum. 

In the words of Paolo Frerie, a champion of critical pedagogy, “[k]nowledge emerges only through invention and re-invention, through the restless, impatient, continuing, hopeful inquiry human beings pursue in the world, with the world, and with each other.” Hence, we remain committed to a meaningful student-centered learning, with emphasis on real-world skills as desired and desirable outcomes to a robust learning environment. 

Finally, continue to keep an eye out for our Secondary School Newsletter, make sure you activate your own Alma and Managebac profiles.

Warmly, 

Bela Gligorova, PhD

Secondary School Principal
