Character Counts! for Elementary Students
“I treat others the way I want to be treated.”
K-5 students that use good manners and are considerate in their interactions with others use respect. They are tolerant of others’ differences. These students are considerate of the feelings, needs, and thoughts of others. They do no harm to others, and they deal peacefully with their own anger.
IB Learner Profile for MYP Students
“I love to learn.”
MYP students develop a natural curiosity of studies by acquiring the skills necessary to conduct inquiry, research and independence in learning. They actively enjoy learning and seek more information on topics that interest them as an inquirer.
