Welcome Back!

Dear Parents, Friends and Families,

Happy New Year!!

Welcome to 2020, I hope you all had a relaxing break and enjoyed spending time with your little ones.  I am hoping that most of you have read the recent school announcement sent by our Head of School, Mr Steve:

Message from Head of School 
Dear parents,
Happy New Year, and welcome back to the second half of our academic year!  In my travels around the school today, it was very clear that our students are happy to be back in school with their friends and their teachers, back to the business of learning.
I would like to announce, with great pleasure, that on December 30, we received word from the International Baccalaureate Organization that our application for PYP authorization was approved.  Therefore, the OIS - JVLR Campus is now officially an IB World School authorized for the Primary Years Program!This is an achievement that all of us can take pride in, as we all have had a role in bringing it to fruition. In particular, the Primary School faculty, led by Lisa, Nicola and Kristen, have made all of this possible through their hard work over the last 2+ years.  I am also grateful to our parents for supporting us and trusting us throughout this process. Particularly for those parents who were with us on that very first day of school back in August 2017, I hope you are feeling especially proud of your decision to join us at the very beginning of our journey.  Finally, I must acknowledge our students; their eagerness to learn, their curiosity, their sense of wonder energizes us on a daily basis.

Many thanks to you all for this fantastic accomplishment! 

Best wishes,

Stephen Augeri

We are very happy to finally have the stamp of approval from the IB to give us confirmation that we are doing exactly what we should be doing in terms of being in line with the IB Standards and Practices.

Also many thanks to our group of parents who helped with this process.
