In order to build upon and strengthen last year's theme, "Raising Tolerance and Embracing Diversity," Colegio Roosevelt has adopted the IB Learner Profile for this year's theme:
Supporting Our Community Through the Learner Profile.

The IB Learner Profile is a shared vision of ten attributes that provide expectations for all members of the school community. Practicing and incorporating the Learner Profile attributes will help us realize our mission of empowering our students to pursue their passion for learning, lead lives of integrity and create socially responsible solutions, and will support our schoolwide work on Colegio Roosevelt Strategic Plan.

IB Learners strive to be:

• Inquirers
  They develop their natural curiosity. They acquire the skills necessary to conduct inquiry and research and show independence in learning. They actively enjoy learning and this of love of learning will be sustained through their lives.
