Why did you want to start the IB PYP at Huffman? The PYP is a lens through which we can offer students an education that is truly student-led. We have the opportunity to help ignite the curiosity that will propel our students to become lifelong learners. I look forward to fostering that community of globally minded learners who have the ambition and creative thinking skills to do great things in this world.
