April's K-5 Character Counts! Trait is Courage
“I try to be brave whenever I can be.”
Our courageous elementary students can make the right choices and decisions, even if they are difficult to make. They know and understand what is good, true, and right. These students can stand up with courage instead of hiding in fear of what is correct.
April's MYP IB Learner Profile Attribute Focus is Being Balanced
“I have a tranquil body, active mind, and a vibrant soul.”
Our balanced MYP students can manage various aspects of their lives to achieve optimal well-being for themselves and others. They can manage their intellectual, physical, and emotional health.
