When a student leaves WAB, what are the key skills, knowledge, and characteristics they should possess that will guide them into the future?

It’s this question that is leading the development of WAB’s new strategic plan, known as Portraits of WAB Alumni. All international schools have a strategic plan that provides direction for the schools’ efforts in academics and experience. But as a school that is committed to putting students at the center of everything we do, WAB has decided to empower our students to direct the process of creating these portraits.

On today’s episode, we speak with two of the students who are taking the lead in the development of WAB's strategic plan, and we have also welcomed back our head of school, Dr. Marta Medved Krajnovic, to help us understand how the school community benefits from putting this important task into the hands of the people it will impact most.
