IB
Learner Profile
This
profile, defined by the International Baccalaureate, is a set
of characteristics for students to show they are developing life-long
learning and inquiry skills and that they are aware of and sensitive
to the experiences of others. A student's development in these
areas is considered to be a key indicator of their overall achievement
as a learner and as an international citizen. These characteristics
will be reinforced throughout the school community. All staff
members will model and recognize these positive attributes among
their students.
