WELL DONE, IB ARTISTS - IB ART EXHIBITION 2022

On March 30th, we were pleased to hold the annual IB Art Exhibition where ten students showcased their works in visual arts. IB Art is a course that encourages students to challenge their creative and cultural expectations and boundaries, and develop analytical skills in problem-solving and divergent thinking, all while working towards technical proficiency and confidence as art-makers*. Our IB Artists presented inspiring, thought-provoking and stunning pieces that will be submitted to the IB Organization as part of the IB Assessment evaluation. Ms. Salinas and Ms. Masterman have worked with these students over the past two years and prepared a beautiful event to salute their work and dedication to the arts. Congratulations and well done, Dons!

IB HOTA SENIORS ADDRESS WORLD ISSUES - MAY 2021

We're proud to share our Seniors' infographics that address current world issues around the Climate Change and AAPI Hate. These infographics are part of the IB History of the Americas (HOTA) Year 2 coursework. Thank you, Aspleny and Princess, for bringing attention to these important matters. Your effort is appreciated and recognized!

CLIMATE CHANGE - BY ASPLENY RIVAS FLORES, CLASS OF 2021

"I want to address the importance of climate change and how we can help in stopping it. Humans are the main contributors to climate change and the only ones who can make a change for the better of the planet." (Posted with permission from Aspleny Rivas Flores)

AAPI AGAINST HATE - BY PRINCESS JANINE TOLIAO, CLASS OF 2021

"The message of my artwork is to raise awareness that the AAPI Community is already suffering from the impacts of COVID-19 and shouldn’t be discriminated/oppressed/blamed for the pandemic. AAPI has also lost their loved ones, lost their jobs, lost their homes, and are angry about the pandemic however, they don’t blame others." (Posted with permission from Princess Janine Toliao)
