Under the umbrella of the ISABC Collaborative Pro-D programme, Stratford Hall is pleased to host an IB forum at 7:00 PM on Thursday, October 7, to explore opportunities for collaboration between our various schools. We hope that some schools not currently offering IB, but who may be interested in learning more about it, will come as well.
The intent is that ideas brought forth during the evening's discussions will lead to concrete action and future inter-school collaboration around the IB.
