The entire International Baccalaureate seeks to develop students who respect themselves, others, and the world around them, while at the same time concerning itself with students' social, emotional, and physical well-being.

To reflect this, the IB Learner Profile is at the center of an IB education. It reflects attributes important for this holistic development of each student. At Hill-Freedman, educators intentionally help students to develop these attributes and to demonstrate them both within and beyond the classroom. According to the IB, "the development of these attributes is the foundation of developing internationally minded students who can help to build a better world."
