After the successful completion of our very first IB Generation in 2019, a new year ushers in a new group of IB candidates – our rising 11th graders! This diverse group of first-year diploma students, both old and new to Futuro Verde, joins our second-year diploma students to comprise our 2020 IB cohort. This year’s group comes well prepared for the challenges ahead, thankful for the advice and experience of our recent graduates, and enthusiastic for the preparation and growth the Diploma Program provides.
With this new IB generation comes a new IB coordinator!
While change can be uncomfortable, it inevitably also provides an opportunity for growth. I come to this position both delighted and enthusiastic for the fresh challenge and equally humble about my service to the students and the school. I am thankful for the continued support from our departing IB Coordinator, Stuart, and from the rest of the leadership team at Futuro Verde as I learn the ins and outs of this specialized position. I look forward to supporting our IB students to maximize their success, and to refining and continuing to grow the Futuro Verde IB program.
Other associated changes to our program include IB History taught by Karol Madrigal for our Group 3 offering, in place of Business Management. And, in addition, I will also be coordinating Diploma Program Extended Essay. However, for this self-directed research paper students will continue to choose the best suited Supervisor based on the subject matter for their Extended Essay. Finally, the focus at Futuro Verde, ultimately, remains preparation for higher education and success at the university level. For each student the individual pathway may look slightly different, and we offer several options within the IB framework. Successful completion of high school at FV is attainable for all our students!
