Dear ,
What an exciting year it has been for IAS! One of our most significant achievements has been the successful implementation of the MYP, bringing fresh energy and new opportunities to our learning community. The changes we’ve seen so far reflect the hard work and dedication of our staff, students, and families—thank you all for your ongoing support.
Next week, we’re delighted to welcome our MYP consultant for their official visit. This is a key moment for us to showcase the progress we’ve made, engage in meaningful discussions, and gather insights to further strengthen our program. We’re confident this visit will be both rewarding and inspiring, and we’ll share more details soon on how you can be involved. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, please take a moment to review the important reminders included in this message—your attention to these updates is greatly appreciated.
As always, thank you for being such an integral part of the IAS journey. Wishing you all a wonderful and restful weekend ahead!
Christopher Uden, Principal

Exciting Milestone: IB MYP Consultation Visit on 12-13 June
We are pleased to share that our school is preparing for an important step on our IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) journey: the MYP Consultation Visit. This visit, on 12-13 June (Thursday and Friday) conducted by an official IB consultant, is a key part of the process towards becoming an authorized IB MYP World School.
The purpose of the consultation is to support us as we continue developing the MYP. During the visit, the consultant will meet with staff, students and parents, observe lessons, tour our facilities, and discuss how the programme is being implemented across all subject groups. It is also an opportunity to highlight the achievements we’ve made so far and to reflect together on any remaining challenges.
The visit provides a valuable chance for our community to receive guidance and feedback as we work towards meeting the IB’s standards and practices. Most importantly, it focuses on how the MYP is already enriching the experiences of our students and contributing to a dynamic and inclusive school culture.
