         
In the IB PYP schools, all primary aged children enrolled in
an IB PYP school are considered IB students. While IB students are expected to
take an active role in their learning of necessary concepts, knowledge and
skills, the IB PYP also focuses on the importance of instilling positive
attitudes within its students. Through encouraging the development and
application of the following positive attitudes, the IB PYP helps to create
successful citizens of the world.
We expect our students to develop and apply the following
attitudes:
