Asst. Head of Primary/

IB PYP Coordinator

The transdisciplinary skills

of thought, social interaction, effective communication, self-management and inquiry driven research are the threads that weave the three IB programmes together.

We ponder about education for the future and the changes that are needed to prepare students for a dynamic and unsettled world, a world in which survival skills, independent thought and communicating with others are vitally essential. In choosing the IB approach to teaching and learning we are committed to programmes which are well-established and equip ourselves as parents, educators and students to apply what we learn meaningfully. .
