IB Newsletter
Our
February IB Newsletter
highlights the learner profile attributes and IB attitude on which we are focusing during February: risk taker, open-minded, and confidence.
Learn more about how we
try to create an environment where students feel safe and supported when they take risks in their learning.
The
Newsletter also discusses how
parents can help develop students who are risk-takers, open-minded and confident.
