This puts many parents right in the middle of this change. Many of us older parents recognise the value of traditional academic discipline, especially with the career options a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education provides. However, we are also at a turning point with digital technology where even traditional grandparents see the obvious need to focus on adopting a learning style that will allow our children to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Study abroad<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make friends internationally<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be good global citizens<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><b><i>\u201cpreparing our children to be able to adapt to change is a key part of a winning strategy for their success in life.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how do parents equip their teenagers for an uncertain world? Being book smart is no longer enough. Employers and leading universities are already recognising that a healthy, positive, well-rounded individual, with an open mind, guided by a set of established morals may have even more potential than someone who consistently ranks number one academically. While academics can\u2019t be neglected, the research is clear: preparing our children to be able to adapt to change is a key part of a winning strategy for their success in life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibo.org\/programmes\/diploma-programme\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The International Baccalaureate\u00ae (IB) Diploma Programme<\/a> is for students aged 16-19. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The programme aims to develop students who have an e<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">xcellent breadth and depth of knowledge to flourish:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physically <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intellectually<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotionally<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ethically<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Pioneering Education<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are proud to be the first school to establish the IB Diploma Programme in Medan.
