IB Learner Profile
IB Learner Profile in Action
At our school, the IB Learner Profile is more than a list of traits—it’s a shared vision of the kind of people we hope our students become: caring, curious, principled, and globally minded.
These ten attributes guide everything we do and help unite our community around a common purpose.
Monthly Learner Profile Focus
Each month, we spotlight one Learner Profile Attribute across the school.
-
Principal Newman selects a meaningful book that highlights the trait in action.
-
Teachers read and discuss the story with students, connecting it to their daily lives and learning.
-
Students reflect through writing, conversation, and creative responses.
-
We wrap up the month with a joyful Book of the Month Assembly, where students are recognized for exemplifying the trait in their classrooms and beyond.
