The IB MYP encourages students to take some responsibility for their learning by encouraging them to develop their academic interests. The Learner Profile is comprised of three key components:

1. A set of personal characteristics that describe the learner's personality. These include self-awareness, motivation, resilience, curiosity, creativity, independence, responsibility, adaptability, perseverance, and social awareness.
2. Cognitive abilities include reading comprehension, critical thinking, problem-solving, logical reasoning, verbal communication skills, and visualization.
3. Knowledge, skills, and conceptual understanding across a range of disciplines, which include the ability to apply concepts, analyze information, synthesize ideas, make choices, work independently, communicate, and reflect.

The IB Learner Profile instills a profound commitment to respect in the school community: respect for self, respect for others, and respect for people all around the world.

Education is not just about what a student learns, but also how he or she learns it. Students learn different approaches to develop skills and the personal characteristics needed to become independent learners. There are 5 Categories of ATL Skills:

1. Thinking Skills
2. Communication Skills
3. Self Management Skills
4. Research Skills
5. Social Skills

These skills are explicitly taught, modeled, and practiced in the classroom.
