As a Beijing 2008 Olympic Education Model School, WAB has been celebrating the Olympics with a wide variety of academic, cultural, service and sporting pursuits. The extraordinary quality of WAB's focus on Olympic education was awarded this past week as an "Excellent Example of Beijing 2008 Olympic Education Model Schools." Out of the 500 schools from across China who were awarded as an Olympic Educational Model School, WAB was one of the 120 schools awarded as an Excellent Example. An overview of WAB's Olympic education activities will be featured in a forthcoming book published by the China Ministry of Education, BOCOG and Municipal Education Committee.
As a 2008 Beijing Olympic Education Model School, and an
international school represented by 57 nationalities, the WAB community
wishes the very best to all athletes competing in this summer's diverse
array of Olympic events. WAB teachers and staff look forward to hearing your family's Olympic tales when we gather back together in September for the start of a new school year.
Many thanks to all WAB teachers, staff, parents and community members who have fueled the Olympic Dream at WAB, especially Amanda Clark, who organized, documented and cheered on the school's efforts as WAB's Olympic Education Coordinator.
