As an IB World School, Fernway is required to have policies for 1) access to the PYP Programme; 2) acadmic integrity; 3) purposes and principles of assessments; 4) ways to ensure inclusion; 5) language development.
These policies were written by the team of IB PYP coordinators with input from relevant personnel, then reviewed by teams of teachers in each building. The Learning & Teaching administrative team also helped review and revise the policies.
Previously, each PYP school wrote their own policies; this collaborative effort ensures standardization across the five Shaker elementary schools.
