The Benefits of the International Dimension

1

Life in the 21st century is increasing complex and inter-connected. To prepare our children to live in a world that is rapidly changing every moment, we need to equip them with an essential set of skills and attitudes. Through the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (IB PYP) and the Cambridge International Examinations Secondary 1 and IGCSE programs, children at Akshar Árbol International School are groomed to take a trans disciplinary approach to learning.
