As summer winds down, our Strelitz International Academy is buzzing with excitement for the upcoming school year. Our dedicated teachers have been working tirelessly to prepare their classrooms, creating warm, welcoming, and stimulating environments where our students can thrive.
This year, we are placing a special emphasis on meaningful play, which was a key focus during our professional development week. Our teachers have been exploring innovative ways to integrate play into the curriculum, ensuring that learning is both engaging and purposeful. This approach not only aligns with our IB® philosophy but also supports the development of critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity among our students.
In addition to classroom preparation, our faculty has been diligently updating themselves on the latest IB® updates. Staying current with these developments ensures that we continue to offer a world-class education that meets the high standards of the IB® program. Our commitment to continuous learning and improvement is a testament to our dedication to providing the best possible education for our students.
Safety is always a top priority at SIA, and this year, we’ve taken our emergency preparedness to the next level. Our staff has undergone new emergency training, including AED (Automated External Defibrillator) training, to ensure that we are equipped to handle any situation that may arise. This comprehensive training is part of our ongoing effort to create a safe and secure environment for our entire school community.
As a private school grounded in Jewish values and traditions, we began the week with a special time of prayer and reflection. Together, we prayed and shared personal and school traditions that remind us of our shared heritage and the values that guide us. This moment of unity and spiritual connection set the tone for the year ahead, reminding us of the importance of community, faith, and the rich traditions that are woven into the fabric of our school.
We cannot wait to welcome our students and families back to school. With the classrooms ready, our teachers inspired, and our community united, we are confident that this will be a great, successful school year. Here’s to a year filled with growth, learning, and meaningful experiences for all! To learn more schedule a visit.
