The International Baccalaureate® (IB) learner profile describes a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities that go beyond academic success. They imply a commitment to help all members of the school community learn to respect themselves, others and the world around them. (www.ibo.org)

The teachers of Asker International School believed it was important to have our own interpretation of how the attributes of the IB Learner Profile should be defined, based on our own teaching experiences in Norway.

They came up with the following.   

The below image is the Learner Profile imagined through a technological lens. It is important to recognise that the modern student is heavily immersed in a digital world. 

A visitor to Grade 4

It was great fun to have Line visit us. She not only gave us an insight into the (long) process of making and publishing a book, she also read aloud from her books, shared stories and described the background of each of her book.

What is unique with Line is that she not only writes her books, she illustrates them as well. Because of this, the students were also given a drawing course where they learned to use geometrical figures to draw a bird, a spider, and a fly.

WORLD BOOK DAY 2017 

It was great to see staff and students sporting outfits of characters from some of their favourite books. The day was filled with activities, classroom visits and an assembly focussing on this avery special day!
