Dear PYP Parents,
We welcome you to our September PYP Newsletter for the academic year of 2023-24. We hope this newsletter finds you well and excited for the new academic year as we embark on an exciting journey of “Designing Our Future Together.” This year we emphasize the power of collaboration, innovation, and global citizenship in shaping a better world.
In PYP, we strive to develop international-minded learners by instilling in our students the attributes of the IB Learner Profile; to understand them and make a difference within our school and our community.
Best Regards,
