    Learning Never Stops: A Year of Faculty Growth at Seven Peaks

    In the 2025–2026 school year, Seven Peaks School faculty participated in a wide range of professional development opportunities that strengthen teaching, leadership, and student support across the school. Educators attended national conferences, International Baccalaureate workshops, literacy training, and experiential learning programs both in the United States and internationally. From science and mathematics instruction to art education, crisis response, and inquiry-based learning, these experiences allow teachers to bring new ideas, strategies, and renewed energy back to their classrooms. This ongoing commitment to professional learning reflects the core values of an IB school, where reflection, collaboration, and growth are essential to providing students with a dynamic and thoughtful education.

    100 Days of Wonder: How Play, Inquiry, and Growth Shape Kindergarten at Seven Peaks

    The 100th day of school is a joyful milestone in kindergarten, but at Seven Peaks it also represents something deeper. In just a few months, students grow not only in early literacy and math skills, but also in confidence, independence, and their ability to collaborate and communicate.
