IB INQUIRERS


Introduction to the Learner Profile Attributes

Dear PYP Families,

I am excited to review the Learner Profile Attributes with you. We focus on developing these qualities in the Primary Years Programme (PYP) students. These attributes are at the core of our educational philosophy and guide us in nurturing well-rounded, globally minded learners.


The ten Learner Profile Attributes are:

  1. Balanced

  2. Caring

  3. Communicators

  4. Inquirers

  5. Knowledgeable

  1. Open-minded

  2. Principled

  3. Risk-takers

  4. Reflective

  5. Thinkers

Our curriculum and daily practices aim to instill these attributes in our students, helping them become lifelong learners equipped to face the challenges of the 21st century. By working with you, we can ensure that our students develop academically and as compassionate, responsible, and innovative individuals who contribute positively to the world. Each month, I will introduce/review an attribute to you and give you tips on reinforcing the attributes at home. 


Thank you for your continued support in nurturing the Learner Profile Attributes in our students.


Warm regards,

Susan Sedro

PYP Coordinator
