Collaborative Experience

Before the beginning of the academic year, our teachers participate in a two-week “Staff Orientation” to welcome new staff to the community and to prepare themselves for the exciting year ahead.

At the beginning of the orientation, a collaborative experience is planned involving physical work to help beautify the school, instilling within the staff a spirit of service and a sense of teamwork.

In addition, the teachers work together to make meaning of the MYIS Philosophy, to improve their understanding of the IB PYP, and to connect to professional growth goals in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Enthusiastic Educators

The process of collaboration is exciting to witness as educators from various cultures and backgrounds gather together to learn, share perspectives, consult, ask questions, reflect on experiences, set up environments, solve problems, and build unity. The result is a committed and enthusiastic group of professionals ready to begin the new year, eagerly anticipating the return of the children to school!
