WOW! This video was inspiring! Kudos to all of you! Seen these children appreciate and accept each other by acquiring each others language and culture gives them such an advantage at accepting others and seen others how God truly sees us, that we are all the same regarding where we come from, or what language we speak. It gives them skills to integrate and relate to others in a totally different level.

Awarded TWO A's: "Applause and Awesome" to the John Stanford International School for the innovative and extrodinary efforts given to the education of their students. I sat amazed at how engrossed the students were during their exercises in both languages and I was very impressed with their overall testing scores.

This just encourages me in my quest for my masters in education; as my BS is in Speech Pathology(1987)supporting my search in the field of education that still holds so much promise as your school so aptly demonstrated. :)

This powerful video makes many wonderful points about the importance of 21st century skills to prepare today's students for their futures. From the roles the principal assumes to the dedication of the teams of teachers to the engagement of the students in creative and technical endeavors--this video is inspiring!
