IB Mission Statement

The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP) Candidate school alongside our ISSP Values we are guided by the IB Learner Profile.

The IB learner profile represents a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities that encompass intellectual, personal, emotional and social growth. ISSP, as a PYP candidate school, understands that developing and demonstrating the attributes of the learner profile will provide our community with an important foundation for international-mindedness.
