In acknowledging that the IBO learner profiles and attitudes mark “the common ground on which PYP schools stand, the essence of what they are about” (Making the PYP happen, 2000), our program relates closely to the IBO schools guide.
We recognise that students who are true ambassadors for anti-bullying culture are International People by directly answering to IBO learning profiles:
