Our Philosophy
W.E. Mitchell Middle School became an officially authorized International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme in August 2015
IB Mission Statement:
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments, and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lfelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
Our Mission and Vision (also known as The Touchstone):
At Mitchell, we lead by example.
We are citizens of the world and show respect for others through kind words and actions.
We put forth our best effort and work hard to achieve academic excellence.
We grow by taking risks and learning from our mistakes.
We believe laughter is an important part of learning.
With courage, this is who we are, especially when no one is looking.
