The IB Learner Profile

The successful implementation of the IB Primary Years Programme depends on the culture and the ethos of the school.  The values and attitudes of the school community are significant in shaping the future of its young people.  In a school that has a commitment to the values inherent in the IB Learner Profile, these values will be readily apparent in classroom and assessment practices, the daily life, management and leadership of the school.  The Learner Profile provides a shared vision that will encourage dialogue and collaboration among teachers and administrators about how to create the best environment for learning.  Download a copy of the Learner Profile brochure.
