 Dear Secondary Families,

We are quickly approaching the end of the school year, and last week was a beautiful reminder of all that our students are capable of when given space to express themselves and connect with others.

On Thursday evening, we had the joy of experiencing our Arts Showcase, an inspiring event that brought together the creativity of our Drama and Visual Art students under the theme of Wellbeing. From thought-provoking student-devised performances to powerful installations and artwork reflecting personal and collective journeys, our students demonstrated courage, insight, and artistry. Thank you to our amazing arts team and to all the families who joined us in celebrating the power of student voice and creative expression.

On Wednesday afternoon, our athletes enjoyed a lunch together, followed by friendly soccer matches with the German School to inaugurate our new scoreboard.

Estimadas familias de secundaria:

Nos acercamos rápidamente al final del año escolar, y la semana pasada fue un hermoso recordatorio de todo lo que nuestros estudiantes son capaces de lograr cuando se les da el espacio para expresarse y conectar con los demás.

El jueves por la noche, tuvimos la alegría de asistir a nuestra Muestra de Arte, un evento inspirador que reunió la creatividad de nuestros estudiantes de Teatro y Artes Visuales bajo el tema del Bienestar. Desde estimulantes actuaciones creadas por los estudiantes hasta impactantes instalaciones y obras de arte que reflejan trayectorias personales y colectivas, nuestros estudiantes demostraron valentía, perspicacia y talento artístico. Gracias a nuestro increíble equipo de arte y a todas las familias que nos acompañaron para celebrar el poder de la voz y la expresión creativa de los estudiantes.

El miércoles por la tarde, nuestros atletas disfrutaron de un almuerzo conjunto, seguido de partidos amistosos de fútbol con el Colegio Alemán para inaugurar nuestro nuevo marcador.

¡Próximamente!

Se están realizando exposiciones en las clases de Ciencias Sociales de la Sra. Ortega (ver detalles a continuación). Los estudiantes han trabajado arduamente en estos proyectos y están ansiosos por compartir lo aprendido con sus compañeros. Miércoles 28 de mayo - Nuestros estudiantes de secundaria organizan una Feria de Matemáticas, donde presentarán sus proyectos que celebran la cultura boliviana. De 12:15 a 1:25 en el gimnasio. ¡Acompáñenos en este evento especial!

Jueves 29 de mayo - Nuestra celebración de despedida de los estudiantes de último año nos dará la oportunidad de honrar a la generación de 2025 mientras se preparan para graduarse y dar el siguiente paso.

  Friday, May 30, 2025 Dear Secondary Families, What a week it has been! From creative academic showcases and experiences to meaningful moments of celebration, our campus has been alive with purpose, pride, and joy. Impactful teaching and learning continues to take place throughout our campus. A couple of examples this week include high school Social Science students engaging in interview simulations with outside guests - a meaningful real-world experience that will surely yield long term impact.

They explained challenging concepts such as area, perimeter, surface area, volume, and pi with confidence, creativity, and clarity. It was a true joy to witness how this ...
