What an inspiring two days! Our Grade 6 students shone brightly during their PYP Exhibition, showcasing amazing individual and team accomplishments.

It's fantastic to see these young minds driving their own inquiry. They truly took ownership of their learning, answering their own big questions through diverse research. #PYP #InternationalEducation #StudentInquiry #Collaboration ... See MoreSee Less
