In this thoughtful reflection to the graduating class of 2025, the speaker draws inspiration from Hartmut Rosa’s book The Uncontrollability of the World, connecting its key ideas to the type of education students received at Seven Peaks. Rosa argues that modern society’s desire to control the world often leads to greater chaos and disconnection. The speaker reflects on how much of education and work centers around control, yet the most profound learning comes when we embrace the unpredictable, as experienced in the Costa Rica trip, technology-free friendships, and global cultural encounters. At Seven Peaks, students have been guided to develop their own voices and meet the world with curiosity and compassion rather than control—a perspective that aligns deeply with the school’s mission and the essence of the IB learner profile.
Learner Profile Trait of the Month: Balanced
As we wrap up the school year and head into summer adventures, our June focus on the IB Learner Profile trait Balanced couldn’t be more timely. At Seven Peaks, being balanced means nurturing mind, body, and heart—and our students have been doing just that.
From the physical challenge and joy of PYP field trips and Wintermeister to the deep engagement of Middle Years students preparing for their WLS expeditions, our learners are growing in self-awareness and discovering how to manage time, energy, and emotions. This month also brings exciting events like the Children’s Museum of Colorado pop-up on campus, and heartfelt goodbyes to faculty who have modeled balance, care, and community.
Balanced learners are more than multitaskers—they are thoughtful humans, developing the ability to prioritize well-being, stay grounded, and move through the world with empathy and purpose.

PRESCHOOL AND EARLY YEARS
By embracing the IB principles of play and inquiry-based learning, Seven Peaks' early years program lays the groundwork for a solid educational foundation. It not only prepares children academically but also nurtures their social, emotional, and cognitive skills, setting the stage for a lifelong journey of learning and discovery.
MIDDLE YEARS
