PYP Students<\/h2>\n
Teachers guide Lowell School students through a challenging curriculum that encourages them to take risks, reflect on their learning, and become effective communicators. Students develop their creative voice and vision in music and art classes. They team-build, strategize, and learn to make healthy choices in physical education class. Weekly Spanish lessons start in K3. Students explore Spanish-speaking cultures in our school community and worldwide as they begin learning a new language.<\/p>\n
PYP Parents<\/h2>\n
The International Baccalaureate maintains a small library of videos<\/a>, brochures<\/a>, frequently asked questions<\/a>, and other resources that explain the PYP and other programmes. Parents and caregivers can learn more about our PYP curriculum during parent-teacher conferences and our spring open house and PYP exhibition.<\/p>\n
Students who complete fifth grade at Lowell School can continue thinking globally and preparing for college and career in International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programmes (MYP) at three Milwaukee Public Schools.<\/p>\n
