Learner Profile of the Month - Inquirers

Learner Profile of the Month Awards

Each month we celebrate our students who have excelled at embodying the IB Learner Profiles! The month of September was Inquirers. Students who are inquirers nurture their curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. They know how to learn independently and with others. Inquirers learn with enthusiasm and sustain their love of learning throughout life.

IB Grades

As we get closer to the end of Quarter 1, you may start noticing grades on Connect that have been labeled “Crit [descriptor]". This is an MYP assessment grade that shows a student's current level of learning and understanding of the MYP Subject Criterion.

For a more detailed explanation on how MYP grades are different than traditional grades, please read our MYP Grades Newsletter.
