High Performance Learning

What is High Performance Learning?

High Performance Learning is a research-based philosophy that sees everyone as a potential high performer. It systematically develops the thinking skills, values, attitudes, and attributes needed to become a successful lifelong learner.

How do we become High Performance Learners?

Wel, firstly, it turns out that the brain is in fact much more plastic than was first thought. In short, we can make ourselves more intelligent. It takes good schooling, good parenting, plus dedication and hard work from the children. Our children are heading into a world we don’t yet know. The pace of change is rapid, and knowledge is no longer enough on its own. Our adoption of HPL enables us to teach our children the competencies, skills, values, and attitudes needed to succeed in life.

We focus on the 20 competencies to know how to think and the 10 competencies to know how to behave that they need to know to become great learners. These words will become our common language at IBSB and at home...
