Leo Baeck Hosts
IB World School Round Table

IB roundtable

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, Leo Baeck is a member of a small coveted "fraternity" of schools that share a specific standard of best practices in innovative education. In April, Leo Baeck North hosted an IB round-table conference attended by a dozen fellow IB schools from around Ontario to gain insights into proposed program changes in the IB world called, "The Next Chapter." The emphasis of this particular workshop was on the growing importance of interdisciplinary curriculum planning to promote holistic learning. According to Desmond Bender, our own rep at the round-table and IB Coordinator / Dean of Academic Development, "By looking to Leo Baeck as host of the meeting, it raises the standing of LB in the community of IB world Schools."

Head of School's Message

Welcome to The Leo Baeck Day School! I am proud and honoured to be the Head of School of this wonderfully enriching, warm and engaging educational and spiritual community.

The Leo Baeck Day School is the only Reform Jewish day school in Canada and the largest in North America. This past February we were authorised as the only Jewish school in North America designated as an International Baccalaureate (“IB”) World School. Our membership in the IBO confirms our place among the world’s most highly regarded educational institutions; an achievement of which we are extremely proud.

Bienvenue a Mars

If you know French, then oui, "Welcome to Mars" is what it says on the cover of a travel brochure created by these two Grade 7 students. In her French class, Mme Claire Levy-Boker assigned her students the summative unit task of creating a brochure on a real or imaginary winter destination. While a few students chose to create brochures on actual existing destinations such as Banff and Fernie, most others invented a fantasy winter destination such as Le Castor Volant (The Flying Beaver), Mars or Le Ciel d'Hiver (Winter's Night). So, if you're looking for a winter getaway, real or imagined...and if you can read French as well as our Grade 7...take a look at Mme Levy-Boker's bulletin board where ALL of the brochures are on display. Bon voyage!
