I am hoping parents will give consideration to the new International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program at Whittier School for the Arts. (go to www.ibo.org for information on this program)
Whittier will be the only grade school in south Minneapolis that offers this exciting new curriculum. It will teach your child to become a citizen of the world. In addition, your child will have the opportunity to be engaged in an learning environment with a very diverse student population. Whittier will continue to offer the extensive arts programming that has developed through the partnerships with our many resident arts organizations as part of the IB/PYP programming. In addition, the school will begin teaching the French language. The introduction of the IB/PYP program at Whittier now offers parents an opportunity to give their children a seamless education in IB throughout grade school. Currently, the middle school IB program for south Mpls is offered at Anwatin and the High School IB program is offered through Southwest High School. We are hoping parents will consider requesting the district to expand Whittier School from a K-5 program to a K-8 program in the future. For now, Whittier will remain K-5. School principal Armando Camacho is absolutely fabulous and will be happy to meet with any parents who may be considering this as a choice for their children.
