How does IB have an international flavor? How is it maintained?
A. We encourage international-mindedness in IB students. To do this, we believe that students must first develop an understanding of their own cultural and national identity. IBMYP students are required to learn a foreign language. In many of their classes they discuss what they have learned and how it relates globally and culturally. Valuing multiple perspectives is a big part of the entire curricular program and is taught through many activities across the subjects. Many school events, classroom speakers and field trips are based in this. Students are also encouraged to participate in community competitions and other activities that promote understanding between and within cultures.
