The Learner Profile is a set of values, which collectively describe the qualities of internationally-minded people.<\/span><\/p>

These values form the culture and ethos of our school and apply not only to our students but to our whole school community including teachers, administrators, staff, and our parents.<\/span><\/p>

We aim to develop internationally-minded people who are:<\/b><\/p>

INQUIRERS<\/b><\/p>

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.<\/span><\/p>

KNOWLEDGEABLE<\/b><\/p>

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.<\/span><\/p>

THINKERS<\/b><\/p>

We use critical and creative thinking skills to analyse and take responsible action on complex problems. We exercise initiative in making reasoned, ethical decisions.<\/span><\/p>

COMMUNICATORS<\/b><\/p>

We express ourselves con\u00acf\u0131dently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups.<\/span><\/p>

PRINCIPLED<\/b><\/p>

We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.<\/span><\/p>

OPEN-MINDED<\/b><\/p>

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.<\/span><\/p>

CARING<\/b><\/p>

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.<\/span><\/p>

RISK-TAKERS<\/b><\/p>

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.<\/span><\/p>

BALANCED<\/b><\/p>

We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives\u2014intellectual, physical, and emotional\u2014to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other people and with the world in which we live.<\/span><\/p>

REFLECTIVE<\/b><\/p>

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.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
