Indianapolis Students Compete in National Challenge
Middle school students from Indianapolis are preparing to showcase their knowledge in the African American History Challenge in Atlanta. The team consists of Kenneth Rush, Gordon Jackson, and Adrian Wynn, representing Crispus Attucks, Park Tudor, and Craig Middle Schools, respectively. Co-chairs Pat Payne and Kevin Davenport have been guiding the students in their studies, focusing on the crucial role of African and African American history.
The main study resource for the team is "Before the Mayflower" by Lerone Bennett. Since October, the students have been dedicated to their preparation, meeting every Saturday morning at the Indianapolis Schools Multicultural Center.
Northwest High School Introduces International Baccalaureate Program
In an exciting development, Northwest High School in Indianapolis will offer the esteemed International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum starting this fall. This initiative, approved on May 15, 2006, marks a significant milestone for the Indianapolis School District.
The rigorous two-year application process included comprehensive training for teachers and staff, site visits, and evaluations by an IB team. Notably, this program is only available in seven Indiana schools, making its introduction at Northwest High a remarkable achievement.
The IB curriculum includes challenging pre-college courses in subjects like math, foreign languages, history, science, and the arts. Students must write an extended essay and complete 150 hours of self-initiated community service. While currently focused on high school students, the Indianapolis School District’s Center for Inquiry is working towards implementing the program at the elementary and middle school levels.
This initiative opens up opportunities for urban students to engage with a world-class curriculum, fostering academic excellence and high achievement expectations. The program complements the small-schools approach at Northwest High, which features four specialized academies based on academic and career themes.
Indianapolis Schools are making notable progress with these efforts, aiming to elevate student success and educational quality.
