The aims for the night
 The aim for the night is to create an understanding of
the MYP programme and its specific features, and to
give you an idea of how we make it happen at ISLK.

you and your child/children for continuous
discussions at home regarding education.
The IB Mission Statement

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop
inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people
who help to create a better and more peaceful world
through intercultural understanding and respect.
 To this end the organization works with schools,
governments and international organizations to
develop challenging programmes of international
education and rigorous assessment.
 These programmes encourage students across the
world to become active, compassionate and lifelong
learners who understand that other people, with their
differences, can also be right.
