"The Learner Profile provides a long-term vision of education. It is a set of ideals that can inspire, motivate and focus the work of schools and teachers, uniting them in a common purpose." (IB learner profile booklet; http://www.ibo.org/) The Learner Profile is IB's mission statement translated into a set of learning outcomes of the 21st century. These are the values that infuse all elements of three programmes and, therefore, the culture and ethos of all IB World Schools.

Knowledgeable-They demonstrate an understanding of themselves, others and the world.
Principled-They make good decisions about what is right and what is wrong and accept responsibility for their actions.
Open-minded-They understand and appreciate their own culture and are open to the perspectives of others.
Caring-They show sensitivity to others and have a personal commitment to service and action.
Risk-takers- They confidently approach new situations, new roles and stand up for their own beliefs.
