January Learner Profile Focus: Risk-Taker | Blog Posts
As Seven Peaks School begins a new year and semester, January’s IB Learner Profile focus—Risk-Taker—invites students, educators, and families to embrace change with confidence and curiosity. This post explores how the 10 IB Learner Profile traits are intentionally woven into learning from Pre-K through 8th grade, shaping not only academic growth but the mindset needed for lifelong learning. Through everyday classroom moments and a shared sense of purpose grounded in the IB mission, Seven Peaks students are encouraged to take thoughtful risks, build resilience, and trust the learning process. The post also invites families to reflect on their own experiences with growth and uncertainty, reinforcing the partnership between school and home as we move into a semester filled with courage, creativity, and possibility.

Seven Peaks Primary Years Programme: Growing Students with Distinct Purpose | Blog Posts
At Seven Peaks School, Central Oregon’s only International Baccalaureate (IB) World School for Pre-K through 8th grade, education goes beyond academics. We focus on four essential competencies — critical thinking, creative thinking, ethical decision-making, and self-regulation — that work hand-in-hand with the IB framework. These pillars prepare our students to navigate real-world challenges with curiosity, confidence, and compassion.
Why PK–8 Schools Create Confident, Compassionate Learners
Why PK–8 Schools Create Confident, Compassionate Learners
At Seven Peaks School, our PK–8 structure creates a unique and nurturing environment where students grow up connected—not just to their classmates, but to a larger community of learners. This continuum supports strong relationships between students and teachers, fosters leadership opportunities at every grade, and builds a culture where older students mentor younger ones through our “buddy” program. Whether it’s 6th graders reading Spanish stories to Kindergartners or shared campus traditions, these cross-grade experiences strengthen empathy, confidence, and community. Grounded in the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework, students also build critical Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills like collaboration, communication, and self-management. By the time they graduate from 8th grade, our students are not only academically prepared—they’re compassionate, reflective, and globally minded leaders.
