New Magnet School Touts International Studies
The Western Connecticut Academy of International Studies is a newly created Elementary Magnet School currently under construction, hosted by Danbury Public Schools and scheduled to open in the fall of 2006. The Interdistrict Magnet School will offer special programs and student enrollment will be available to students in Grades K-4 from Danbury, Brookfield, New Fairfield, Newtown and Redding.
With the instructional theme of International Studies, the Academy will offer youngsters an exciting multinational educational adventure. This innovative and challenging elementary magnet school is designed to begin preparing children in Grades K through 5 to live and thrive in a global community.
The Academy will be the child's "passport" to learning about the global community. They will begin learning and using Spanish from kindergarten.
Curriculum Information is Available in the Academy Brochure.
Danbury is hosting a Public Meeting on January 31 that will include a question and answer session for all parents.
Public Meetings are also being hosted at respective Brookfield, New Fairfield, Newtown and Redding locations.
The Boards of Education from Brookfield , Danbury , New Fairfield, Newtown and Redding invite you to apply for enrollment of your child to the new Western Connecticut Academy of International Studies Elementary Magnet School. Student applications are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Will there be emphasis on reading, writing, math and other basics? It's interesting too that students will learn Spanish right away, but in other schools, English gets short shrift.
Multiculturalism is now being taken to a new level.
