PASSPORT TO THE WORLD!


Kids in the 21st century are faced with the challenge of learning about an interconnected world that is constantly changing. Kids College prepares its students to be active participants in a lifelong journey of learning about our world. We cultivate international mindedness, creativity, and a passion for learning to be thinkers. We place great emphasis on the following themes:

Who are we? How are families similar and different across cultures?

How do we express ourselves? By learning different languages, we start the process of becoming citizens of the world.

How does the world work? Each month we will learn about the culture of a different country.

How do we learn to share our planet? By learning about the different cultures and people of foreign countries, we will learn to respect one another to make the world a better place.

At the beginning of each child's enrollment, they will receive their own Kids College Passport to the World. By the end of the school year, each child's passport will be filled with stamps from around the world from all of the countries that they learned about.

WELCOME TO KIDS COLLEGE!

Kids College is an after school enrichment program at Osborne Elementary School for students of both Osborne and Edgeworth schools.

Kids College is focused on supporting the total growth of the developing child by creating a relevant, engaging, challenging, and significant educational framework for participating students.

We strive to enrich children’s minds, encouraging them to be curious, well informed, and compassionate young people who will help to make a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
