Welcome
to
Longfellow Elementary
International Focus School!
Longfellow Elementary is one of the
Boise School District's oldest
schools with a rich history of over 100 years of academic excellence.
Located in the historic North End, our
school celebrates the diversity of individuals and groups and realizes
the absolute need to not only acknowledge but celebrate the variety of
cultures and national backgrounds within the school, local, national
and global communities.
As members of an International School,
Longfellow students are exposed to a curriculum enriched by historic,
geographic and cultural extensions that provide frequent opportunities
for students to explore, understand, and draw conclusions with other
people, cultures, and historical experiences. For example, during
a monthly
international country of study, students will explore the historical,
political and geographic aspects of the country. In addition,
they may listen to music, create art, perform folk tales, taste meals,
grow crops and/or play games indigenous to the country.
Furthermore, Longfellow students grades K-6 are provided
weekly foreign language instruction in Spanish, with the goal that all
students will be receiving Spanish instruction by the 2012 school year.
At our school we believe it takes an "entire village"
to educate our children and ask for your involvement in your child's
education. Only with a cooperative effort on the part of students,
parents, school personnel, and our community, will we reach our goal of
providing the best education possible for our children. We encourage
you to seize every opportunity to become involved in your child's
education and be a part of the Longfellow International family. We
invite you to visit, to volunteer and to participate in school
events. A successful school depends on a global effort from everyone!
