Learner Profile Trait for August

Barry Goldwater is an International Baccalaureate (IB) school.  As such we aspire to fulfill the traits embodied in the Learner Profile. Each month we will highlight and celebrate one of these traits.

In August, we will highlight what it means to be Principled.  We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.

The Learner Profile Quote of the Day is:  “Respect:  It’s not free.  It has to be earned.”
