May 11

There will be a detailed presentation regarding the IB Diploma Programme, in which students will be enrolled after completion of the MYP. We are at present a candidate school with a start date for the first grade 11 class for 2018.

Parents of younger students will be interested to know the pathway their children will follow in order to earn the prestigious IB Diploma, a document which will be very beneficial, both for entrance to top universities, and for their university studies in general, due to the excellent higher level skills preparation provided by the Diploma Programme curriculum.

I look forward to meeting you on June 1st. I will be happy to answer all questions you may have regarding the Diploma Programme.

Then we worked on explaining why a group of figures are similar and choosing what figure would pair with the group.
