The YIS Learner Profile
The school values are embedded in daily life and practice at YIS, and in particular in the school-wide Learner Profile. This profile, defined by the International Baccelaureate, is a set of characteristics for students to show they are developing life-long learning and inquiry skills and that they are aware of and sensitive to the experiences of others. A student's development in these areas is considered to be a key indicator of their overall achievement as a learner and as an international person.
