This month, we turn our Francophone Spotlight to Morocco. Rich history, majestic imperial cities, long-stretching deserts, monumental mountains, beautiful beaches, colorful and lively souks, vibrant music and art, and delicious food, Morocco has it all!
Here are some highlights of field trips and experiences from the first half of this school year, and more to come!
Many of these opportunities have been funded thanks to generous donations from our community through last year's 2022 Fund for the Future dedicated to equity in experiential learning. Your support has made a real difference in our students' experience and we thank you for your generosity!

At EB we celebrate our diverse spectrum of learners every month, but in March we spent time spotlighting what it means to be neurodiverse and belong in the world!

We celebrated Black History Month at EB with a variety of activities, guest speakers and multimedia projects including EB parent, Will Hammond, a performance by the YGB ensemble, and storyteller, Diane Ferlatte.
EBs founders were early innovators and saw that the experience of learning in a multilingual setting provides students with a broader perspective and helps them develop a more nuanced understanding of the world. Fundamentally, it promotes critical thinking and empathy, perhaps the most important skills to thrive in the 21st century. There is no better example of these principles in action than listening to EB student leaders themselves at the latest installment of TEDxYouth@EB, broadcast from the Lower School campus in December.
Pre-teens & teenagers live with more pressure than they need. Sometimes they don’t even realize it themselves. That’s why it’s so important to unwind, learn to disconnect, relax, and reset for both their physical and mental health.
One of the main questions I receive as a French as a foreign language instructor is “how do I keep my child speaking French at home, especially during the school breaks?” For many of our EB families, French is not the primary language spoken at home, and it can be difficult to find ways to keep children motivated to learn and speak French while not in our bilingual school setting.
We’re taking advantage of this school year to build bonds among our school community — between students, teachers and our staff! Read some snippets of Middle School social life that help cultivate our sense of belonging.
As a school, we focus a great deal on what happens inside the classroom, which is to be expected. However, what happens outside of the classroom can be equally important for our students’ development.
