IB LEARNER PROFILE
|
In order to integrate the International Baccalaureate Framework with our instruction at Peirce, we will be using the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile to teach important character-building attributes to our students. The IB Learner Profile is meant to be integrated into all areas of study with an emphasis on shaping globally-minded citizens. |
