    Harlan Earns International Baccalaureate Authorization!

    Harlan Elementary School in Wilmington has become the first elementary school in Delaware to earn the distinction of being an International Baccalaureate Programme World School, offering the rigorous and acclaimed Primary Years Programme. 

     

    The Primary Years Programme (PYP) focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside.  The program offers a balance between learning about a subject area and learning beyond it to measure its global significance, allowing students to connect what they learn in the classroom with the world around them.  Students are afforded the opportunity to construct meaning by connecting new knowledge (what they learn in the classroom) with prior knowledge (personal experience). 

     

    Additionally, students in the PYP are required to begin a study of a world language.  At Harlan, all students are learning Spanish, starting in kindergarten. 

     

    In addition to Harlan Elementary, the International Baccalaureate Programme is offered at Talley Middle School and Mount Pleasant High School.
