Learner Profile Awards
The Learner Profile in Action in PE
The IB often stresses the importance of developing "Internationally Minded" students in order to help create a better and more peaceful world. The PYP Learner profile/PYP Attitudes are an excellent way to address this vision and PE presents ample opportunities to help develop these skills and traits within our students.
