Students of Apeejay School International celebrated the International Baccalaureate (IB) learner profile week. The IB learner profile represents a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities that encompass emotional, social, intellectual and personal growth. It helps the students understand their strengths and weaknesses in order to enhance their educational and personal development.

During the week, students participated in Jam sessions, Science experiments, Brochure presentations, Venn diagrams displays, Popcorn storytelling sessions and many other interesting activities to inculcate the essential attributes.

The IB programme aims to develop internationally minded people who recognise their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet. This would enable individuals and groups to become responsible members of local, national and global communities.

The IB Programme is a set of 10 attributes which each learner strives to realise through their years in school.

IB learners nurture curiosity and develop skills for research and inquiry through their learning process. They become knowledgeable through the study of a wide range of disciplines. They further use critical and creative thinking skills to analyse and take effective problem solving decisions.

All IB learners are confident communicators and can express themselves effectively in many languages.

Open-mindedness is a must for an IB learner. They value everyone’s perspectives and are not hesitant to share their thoughts. This attribute enables them to analyse, evaluate and grow from their experiences. An IB learner is a balanced and reflective risk taker aware of the responsibility of actions and consequences. Plus, they are empathetic and compassionate.

The curriculum at Apeejay School International is designed to cultivate these attributes.
