PYP Update

Overlook Elementary School spent last year reviewing our program to see how we're meeting the needs of our school community through IB philosophy, standards, and practices. We found positive results in most areas and determined ways to provide even greater support to our students and families. The IB organization has an Evaluation Team scheduled for early October 2021. They will work with us to ensure our success as an Authorized IB World School. We will share the evaluation report with the school community when it arrives in the next few months.

The IB Mission: 

The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end, the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

The Overlook Mission:

Overlook Elementary School’s mission is to build a community that strives to elevate all stakeholders, eliminate all gaps, and educate the whole child as a lifelong learner.

The Overlook Vision:

Overlook Elementary School guides students to take ownership of their learning and prepares them to be valued members of a global community by taking action for themselves and others.
