ELIAN'S IB LEARNER PROFILE

The essence of a lifelong learner

At the heart of the International Baccalaureate Programme (IB) is the “learner profile”, a long- term, holistic vision of education that underpins all IB programmes and puts the student at the centre of everything we do. 

The learner profile is the IB mission statement translated into a set of learning outcomes for the 21st century. The ten aspirational qualities of the learner profile inspire and motivate the work of teachers, students and schools, providing a statement of the aims and values of the IB and a definition of what we mean by “international-mindedness”. At Elian's we have adopted these values and aligned them with our school philosophy, adding “creative” to the list of aspirational attributes.

"The learner profile unites us by focusing on the whole person as a lifelong learner. It applies to all of us — student, teacher, parent or administrator — for we are all continually learning."
