The IB MYP is part of a continuum education; it prepares the students for the Diploma Programme and follows from the primary years' programme. Each one of these educational cycles close with several celebrations of learning achievements.

At this point in the academic year, students are usually eagerly anticipating the school’s scheduled ‘Week Without Walls’.  This annual event is planned to develop student exposure to culture, outside adventure learning, and service.  Due to obvious pandemic restrictions, however, this year’s event cannot take place.

This week I had the pleasure of attending a primary division professional learning session on Tuesday afternoon. The grade-level teams presented both their tried-and-test assessment tools and some of their innovative ideas on assessing children's knowledge and understanding.
