Congratulations IB Diploma students! Today is
their final day of school and we wish them well on their exams!
Also, April is about Empathy
and the Vision for an AISC Learner!
Empathetic students
appreciate their own cultures and perspectives while respecting the values and
background of others, believing each person has equal intrinsic value.
Empathetic students show a willingness to consider, include and support
the values, beliefs, and point of view of others. Empathetic students show understanding of the
needs of others and compassion by extending help to those in need and making
positive contributions to local and global communities and the environment.
Congratulations to:
Jiwon Lee - Jiwon's modus
operandi is to see how others in her proximity are doing and to process it
based on her understanding of her experiences. For example, she notices when a
student is being left out in subtle ways and tries to understand why that might
be the case. Jiwon's inquiry process involves considering the individual's
background and beliefs in the given context. In this diverse setting, Jiwon
puts her values to practice by empathizing with others and offering her support
in meaningful ways.
Miles Gold - Miles'
patience and excellent listening skills highlight his empathy. Regardless of
how heated the debate, Mile is always willing to honor the other side of the
conversation. It's not that Miles isn't passionate about his own ideas, but he
goes out of his way to keep an open mind and not diminish the other student's
thinking. In this way, Miles demonstrates empathy: by valuing others' views.
Anya Kumar - Anya is a
supportive and understanding student and peer. She is sensitive to situations
and to others around her, especially during group work and discussions. Her
thoughtful and caring nature is appreciated inside and outside the classroom.
Donovan Smith - Donovan
maintains compassion, perspective, and curiosity about the wellbeing of his
peers and teachers. He adjusts his behavior and speech to the needs of peers
and actively explores if others are being considered. He promotes inclusive
dialogue in the classroom.

we will share this link to summer
