Our Values
Inquiry
Provide a respectful, engaging and challenging environment, where children are encouraged to explore the material, ask questions, and share ideas on their own and in groups.
Collaboration
Ensure that every child can work effectively with others while recognizing others' perspectives and values, and is creative and flexible in the face of new situations.
Reflection
Ensure that the children reflect on class activities by describing what happened and expressing feelings, which will help children to gain a greater understanding of self and others.
International-mindedness
Engage children in culturally responsive educational experiences by showing understanding and respect for children’s cultural background, allowing them to be more open-minded.
Whole Journey
Whole Education Academy is a candidate school* for the PYP. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy- a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education- that we believe is important for our students.
* Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.

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.
