Already a club legend. ❤️🤍 Sunderland supporters congratulated 5th-grader Liam Kwon for winning the NYC Spelling Bee last weekend, while donning the badge! 🐈‍⬛ He will now travel to Washington, D.C. in May to compete in the National Spelling Bee. Good luck, Liam!

As a former math teacher, I had a lot of fun this morning with our students at A. Philip Randolph Campus High School, engaging with linear models in the VR world and practicing my drone soccer skills on the “field.”

One P.S. 84 student said that IB is "an opportunity to question your learning and have a say in it."   Thank you to the French Embassy, Villa Albertine, and President Braun-Pivet for une visite magnifique!

International Baccalaureate (IB) and Dual Language programs here and across the city challenge students to think deeper and look towards a world beyond their own.

Happy #WorldLanguagesWeek and bonjour to becoming multilingual global learners! 🇫🇷
