国际文凭组织（International Baccalaureate）以其极其严格和极具挑战的PYP（幼小项目），MYP（中学项目），DP（大学预科项目）领跑国际教育。国际文凭组织为确保其项目的运作质量，构建起了一套规范、严格的项目授权体系。通常情况下，一个学校在项目正式授权前，需要派遣顾问进行一次咨询访问，以便更好地帮助学校达到授权标准。

International Baccalaureate leads the international education with its rigorous and challenging programmes.To guarantee the implementation quality of the each programme, IB established a standard and rigorous authorization system. Before authorization, a school needs to go through a consultation visit to better meet the the programme standards and practices.

12月16日-17日，Yoon Ah Lee女士代表国际文凭组织，来我校进行了为期两天的PYP幼小项目咨询访问。

On 16th to 17th December 2019, Ms Yoon Ah Lee from IBO conducted a 2-day PYP consultation visit in our school.
