THE KEY CONCEPTS

As an IB World School, we are committed to providing high quality, challenging, international education by engaging students in a concept- based curriculum, an education for the understanding of significant ideas.

    The Key Concepts are the powerful ideas that have relevance within the subject area and that students explore and re-explore in order to develop a coherent, in-depth understanding.
