Today, our 2nd Grade Cheetahs took center stage for a powerful celebration of Change Makers!
Our young learners have been diving deep into how simple curiosity can spark massive transformation within a community. By investigating leaders, activists, and innovators, these students didn't just learn history—they built essential IB Transdisciplinary Skills:
Research: Navigating information to uncover the "why" behind the change. Communication: Presenting their findings with clarity and passion.
We are so proud of these Knowledgeable and Confident Communicators. Seeing them stand tall and share their expertise was truly inspiring. The future looks bright with these change makers leading the way!
Way to go, Cheetahs!

We have some exciting news! Ali L. in 1st Grade is our first Cheetah this year to make our Impossible Shot at our monthly assembly!

🌟 How it Works:
Our Cheetahs are constantly spotted being Principled, Inquirers, Risk-Takers, Communicators, and more. When a staff member sees a student living out the IB Learner Profile, they earn an "I See IB" ticket.
Each month, we draw two names per grade level from those tickets to step up to the line.

Ali didn’t just show his IB attributes in the classroom—he showed incredible focus and bravery on the big court!

The beat continued today at our COE International Festival! We were thrilled to host Noah Mosgofian with Drum One Drum All for an incredible, high-energy session.
Our Cheetahs didn’t just listen—they became part of the music! Beyond creating their own rhythms, students went on a global journey learning about the history and origins of drums from Africa and beyond. It was loud, it was educational, and it was a total blast!
