THIS IS WIS
We're pleased to say there's no template for a WIS student. But for all of their unique qualities, there are common characteristics.
INQUISITIVE
From the moment they enter our Primary School classrooms, children are encouraged to inquire within the framework of the IB Primary Years Program.
CONFIDENT
The diversity of the community and the global reach of the curriculum give students the skills and abilities to navigate the world outside their classrooms.
EMPATHETIC
The February 6 post of WISdom, the WIS Blog, highlights Kindness Week activities in our Middle School.
CREATIVE
Students in the Middle and Upper Schools have the opportunity to perform on stage throughout the year. In the Fall, the Middle School produces a play and the Upper School produces a musical; the Spring brings the Middle School musical and the Upper School play.
