means that our school community is committed to promoting

international understanding through education. The aim of the IB program is to develop internationally minded people who,

recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of

the planet help create a better and more peaceful world. At the

heart of the IB philosophy, is the belief that the values and the

attitudes of the school community are significant in shaping the

future of the school. These values and beliefs are embedded in

The IB Learner Profile. It expresses a holistic vision of education

that underpins the IB Programs and puts the student at the

center of everything we do. IB students are curious, fully

engaged citizens, who both embrace their own culture and are

open and responsive to other cultures and views

and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through

intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end, the organization works with schools, governments, and international

organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous

assessment. These programs encourage students across the world to become active,

compassionate, and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences,

can also be right.

● Students are internationally aware with open hearts and open minds,

● Students are exposed to a second language

● Students acquire the skills to live and work with others both locally and internationally

● Students understand that the only way to appreciate another language or culture is to

be confident of their own.
