WAELP Activities and Schedules

Students choose from a variety of activities, covering all five MYP Areas of Interaction throughout the year. The students are not tested, graded, assessed, evaluated or reported on. Our goal is to provide them with as many meaningful learning opportunities through as much direct experience as possible. There are three categories of WAELP activities that promote Athletic Expression, Artistic Expression and Thinking Skills.

Days and Times

As the name suggests, WAELP occurs every Wednesday afternoon from 1:00 to 3:00 pm . On these days, classes are shortened and the academic school day ends at 12:30 pm. Students eat lunch from 12:30-1:00 pm and then proceed to their Experiential Learning activity.

Activity Blocks

The WAELP activities are organized into 5 week blocks. Students participate in cumulative activities within the workshop with the same students and instructor for each of the 5 weeks.
