    Pumpkins, Purpose, and the Power of Community

    This fall, our Seven Peaks community came together in a wonderful act of care and connection—donating our leftover pumpkins to Four Roots Ranch! These pumpkins became tasty snacks for the ranch’s rescued and rehabilitated animals, helping reduce waste and support a local organization that nurtures both animals and the environment. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing SPS parents and students who helped load, transport, and deliver the pumpkins. Your spirit of community and compassion truly makes a difference!

    Centered on Curiosity and Connection: A Conversation with Theo Wilhelm, Our MYP Coordinator

    At Seven Peaks, we’re delighted to welcome Theo, our new Middle Years Programme (MYP) Coordinator — an educator whose path from journalist to global IB leader reflects a lifelong belief that learning should spark curiosity, invite reflection, and connect students to the wider world.

    With nearly three decades of IB experience across five continents, Theo brings a rich perspective on what meaningful education can look like. His journey began unexpectedly — trading a reporter’s notebook for a classroom — and evolved into a career devoted to helping students see learning as both a personal and global endeavor.

    In our conversation, Theo shares what drew him to Seven Peaks, what excites him most about joining this vibrant community, and how the MYP empowers middle schoolers to think critically, act ethically, and navigate an increasingly complex world. His passion for connection — with students, families, and faculty alike — and his belief in the power of reflection and curiosity shine through every word.

    Why IB Is the Advantage: Inspiring a Lifelong Love of Learning at Seven Peaks

    Step onto our campus on any given day and you’ll feel it — the hum of curiosity, the laughter that fills our classrooms, and the spark that ignites when learning truly comes alive. At Seven Peaks School, education isn’t about memorizing facts or checking boxes. It’s about inspiring a lifelong love of learning and preparing students to thrive — not just in school, but in the complex, beautiful, ever-changing world beyond it.

    As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, Seven Peaks empowers students to ask questions, take risks, and see connections everywhere. From exploring Spanish language and culture to crafting in the Design Lab, studying the natural world, or performing on stage, our students learn through doing, reflecting, and connecting — every step of the way.

    Seven Peaks Primary Years Programme: Growing Students with Distinct Purpose

    At Seven Peaks School, Central Oregon’s only International Baccalaureate (IB) World School for Pre-K through 8th grade, education goes beyond academics. We focus on four essential competencies — critical thinking, creative thinking, ethical decision-making, and self-regulation — that work hand-in-hand with the IB framework. These pillars prepare our students to navigate real-world challenges with curiosity, confidence, and compassion.
