DIA Student Attributes

We strive to develop all aspects of the IB Learner Profile. At DIA, the IB Learner Profile lies at the heart of everything we do. It represents the values and characteristics we aim to nurture in every student — helping them become inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who act with integrity and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. Through our curriculum, co-curricular experiences, and daily interactions, we intentionally foster these attributes so that DIA students grow to be confident, reflective, and internationally minded learners, ready to make a positive impact both locally and globally.

Our Definition of Learning

At DIA, learning is an active, purposeful, and lifelong process. We believe that true learning happens when students think critically, act with integrity, and apply their understanding to make a difference in their local and global communities.

Our approach to learning is holistic, rigorous, and internationally minded, empowering every student to construct meaning through curiosity, creativity, and reflection.

At DIA learning incorporates:

• International mindedness, where students connect their learning to local, regional, and global contexts and develop empathy and respect for diverse perspectives.
• Inquiry-driven learning, where curiosity leads to deep understanding and students question, explore, and apply their learning in authentic ways.
• A broad, balanced, and conceptually connected curriculum, designed to develop knowledge, skills, and approaches that prepare students for a complex and changing world.
• Collaboration and communication, where learning is enhanced through teamwork, dialogue, and shared experiences that build confidence and community.
