The MYP 5, Sports Captain of CBS Student Council, Shanaya said, “I joined CBS in MYP 4, and now in MYP 5, I can really see how much Design Thinking and learning here have shaped the way I think. It’s helped me not only develop skills in areas like computing, circuitry but also in areas like carpentry and research that I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I do. The hands-on approach has made me more confident in problem-solving and creativity, preparing me for challenges ahead. It’s given me a fresh perspective on how to tackle real-world problems and adapt to new situations.
At CBS, the mix of IB and innovation helps students deal with challenges in a fast-changing world. We do hands-on projects, work in groups, and focus on things like technology. This way, we don’t just learn facts, but we also figure out how to use them in real life. It makes us better at solving problems and getting ready for the future.”
