Learner Profile
We believe that a student will learn the best when the learning experience is based on real-life context and is connected to the personal experiences of the students. As teachers, we have a great influence on the learning process offering engaging learning activities that are linked to the global context. Being aware of the global context enables the student to create meaningful links between the concepts and the knowledge obtained in the lessons. It is also a driving force for developing the Learner Profile attributes.
The Learner Profile (International Baccalaureate®) attributes consist of ten descriptors that are actively in use among our students as well as teachers to lead and motivate the learning process. We thrive to become:
