Personal and Social Education

Our Personal and Social Education (PSE) curriculum supports our students in developing their social and emotional well-being and is part of the Advisory program and classroom lessons.  Our Grade 11-12 students have the following PSE lessons planned during Advisory lessons:
Quarter 1 - Grade 12
16 September
Love, Marriage and Lifetime Commitments
28 September
Reproductive and Sexual Anatomy and Physiology
6 October
Human Sexual Response and Sexual Dysfunction
8 October
Sexuality, Meida, and the Arts
 
Quarter 1 - Grade 11
17 September
Sexual decision-making, sexual communication, relationship assertiveness and negotiation
Parents can reinforce learning at home by sharing what they know about these subjects.  They can share their family’s, culture’s, and religion’s perspective on these aspects of Personal and Social Education.
If you would like your child to opt out of any of these lessons, just send an e-mail to your child’s Advisor and make sure your child knows.  If you have any questions, you can contact your child’s Advisor.
The listed PSE lessons will be led by our Advisors, Counselor, and Biology teachers.
Our Personal and Social Education curriculum integrates the IB’s beliefs about PSE together with the Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education 3rd Edition from the Sexuality-Information and Education Council of the United States in order to provide a well-balanced program for our students. You can find our Personal and Social Education  Handbook here.


Advisory

Our advisory programme is developing this year. We are committed to creating an even more holistic and cohesive curriculum that will nurture our students’ ATL skills and international mindedness. 

We are excited about what is to come and will keep our community informed about all the new and exciting activities on the way.​
