STUDENT EXPECTATIONS
The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common
humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.
As IB learners we strive to be:
Inquirers
We nurture our curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. We know how to learn independently and
with others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life.
Knowledgeable
We develop and use conceptual understanding, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. We
engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance.
Thinkers
We use critical and creative thinking skills to analyse and take responsible action on complex problems. We
exercise initiative in making reasoned, ethical decisions.
Communicators
We express ourselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We
collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups.
Principled
We act with integrity and honest dignity and the rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our
actions and their consequences.
Open-minded
We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of
others. We seek and evaluate a range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the experience.
Caring
We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a
positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us.
Risk-Takers
We approach uncertainty with forethought and determination; we work independently and cooperatively to
explore new ideas and innovative strategies. We are resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and
change.
Balanced
We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives—intellectual, physical, and
emotional—to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other
people and with the world in which we live.
Reflective
We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experiences. We work to understand our
strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.
APPROACHES TO LEARNING (ATL)
Through approaches to learning in IB programmes, students develop skills that have relevance across the
curriculum that help them “learn how to learn”. They provide a solid foundation for learning independently.
ATL skills help students prepare for, and demonstrate learning through, meaningful assessment.
Students should develop a clear and sophisticated understanding of how they learn best and how they can
evaluate the effectiveness of their learning. This kind of self-regulated (independent and autonomous)
learning helps students:
● reflect purposefully on their learning (metacognition)
● understand the diversity of human learning needs
● evaluate and provide evidence of their learning
● meet subject group aims and objectives
● share responsibility for creating productive, cooperative and safe learning environments
● develop the confidence to try new strategies and explore new concepts and contexts for learning
● prepare for further study and responsible participation in local and global communities.
