Our school staff are all qualified, IB-trained, introducing diverse lessons to classes, and a passion for nurturing global, expansive mindsets in our young. From Kindergarten to High School, teachers are allowed relative autonomy and thus, are allowed to teach creatively, in alignment with the IB philosophy. Whether it is to steer lessons or to take a step back, students are constantly encouraged to get involved in teams, research and inquire alternative perspectives, challenge what they are told, and reach well beyond the textbook experience.
