School Notes
- Seven Peaks School is a learning community where academic excellence, healthy social development, and artistic expression are nurtured by exceptional staff and engaged families. We are the first full International Baccalaureate (IB) school in Central Oregon, offering both the PYP (Primary Years Programme) for preschool through grade 5, and the MYP (Middle Years Programme) for grades 6-8. We graduate well-educated, compassionate students who feel valued for who they are, prepared to excel in their personal pursuits, and committed to being socially responsible world citizens. Teachers are the backbone of our outstanding program. Our teachers are highly qualified and they are provided more planning time and in-depth professional development opportunities than teachers in public schools, which ultimately benefits the students.
