IC to host IB/IC in-cooperation workshops

For the fourth year in a row, IC’s Educational Recourse Center (ERC) will host the IB/IC in-cooperation workshops on campus this summer. The three-day workshops are aimed towards IB and non-IB schools which have adopted the PYP (Primary Years Programme) in their preschool and elementary levels. So far, over 60 educators from Lebanon, various other Arab countries, and Europe have registered. PYP teachers - including IC teachers, many of whom are attending the workshops - are required by the International Baccalaureate Organization to take IB approved workshops. “It’s an invaluable international event bringing together educators from various educational systems and backgrounds to explore and discuss common concerns and to gain insight into each other’s experience,” said ERC Director Lina Mouchantaf The workshop topics are: the role of ICT in PYP; the role of mathematics and PYP action; and the role of IC in PYP.

IB Art Exhibit

The 2012 IB2 VISUAL ARTS SHOW was held in the downtown souks of Beirut in March. For the past year and a half, students – led by Director of the Art Department, Samia Boulad – have been preparing for the Art Exhibit – part of the IB program coursework. As dictated by the IB program, an IB officer flew in to inspect the students’ work. The results will be out during the summer.
