On February 26-27, our IB Primary Years Programme (Nursery-5th grade) will take part in an evaluation visit from the IB organization. Over the past year and a half, the Board of Trustees, lower school administrators, teachers, students and parents participated in a self-study that the IB team will verify and then conduct their own findings.
The IB site visit team will be meeting with members of our Board of Trustees, parents, teachers, administrators and students throughout their visit. They will also observe teaching and learning in the classrooms.
IB evaluations occur every 5 years to provide feedback on how our school is meeting the IB Standards and Practices.
It's time to sign up for Session 3!
Learning does not stop at the end of the school day. Students can choose from a variety of after-school programs designed to create enthusiasm for learning while building creativity, imagination and positive social skills. These programs are offered by CDS staff and other professionals who want to share their talent and passion for their field.
