This school has an amazing community of staff, parents, and children. The infusion of IB throughout the curriculum is special. As students walk the halls and class, they see the IB principles of compassion, respect, risk taker, curiosity, global thinker, etc. Because of IB, all students grades 1 and above get Chinese language exposure through Chinese language teachers, which is a plus. The principal is smart, kind hearted, and believes in partnering with families and fostering a strong sense of community.
