Dear colleagues,
Welcome back to another wonderful week of learning in the Elementary School!
This week we are welcoming visitors who are at CA to offer professional feedback to guide us in our journey of on-going improvement how to best serve the needs of our students within the framework of the IB PYP. I am sure that they will feel welcome and appreciated for the professional opportunity to support CA. As an IB world school, we are fortunate to be part of such a global educational cohort promoting inquiry-based learning, international education and holistic education of children. Please check the visit schedule often enough to know how the visit progresses and fits into our daily schedule of learning.
