Exciting New Electives & IB Design Classes!

This semester, we are expanding our elective offerings to provide students with more opportunities to explore their interests and develop critical skills.

New Electives Include:

• STEM Explorations

As part of our IB Middle Years Programme, IB Design challenges students to think critically and creatively to solve real-world problems. Students engage in the design cycle, which includes:

• Inquiring & Analyzing: Understanding the problem and researching solutions
• Developing Ideas Brainstorming and planning possible solutions
• Creating the Solution: Bringing their ideas to life through hands-on projects
• Evaluating: Reflecting on the process and making improvements

IB Design classes encourage innovation, teamwork, and problem-solving skills that will help students in high school, college, and beyond!
