Mission Statement
We are the only public school in the District of Columbia that offers the International Primary Curriculum, a highly engaging, diverse curriculum with project- and arts-based activities that foster creativity, self motivation, social and emotional development, and academic excellence. Our goal is to provide students with the foundational skills required for successful participation in a global society. Our program’s unique combination of child-centered, international, and developmental approaches to education is based on extensive research into various aspects of schooling that have the greatest positive effects on academic achievement.
About This Cause
Creative Minds International PCS embraces an inclusive philosophy of education. We believe in the importance of meeting the educational requirements of students with a diversity of backgrounds and learning styles. Every child has a unique way of processing information and expressing him or herself. To implement our inclusive vision of education, our curriculum and teachers’ professional development are based on the latest research on child development and learning. Our multifaceted program includes the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), based on Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory. The IPC’s units of instruction provide various modes of entry into learning (verbal, visual, and kinesthetic) that tap into students’ unique strengths. The IPC also integrates students’ emotions and interests in thematic curricular units designed to motivate deeper engagement. The curriculum’s inclusive approach encompasses personal, academic, and international learning goals. The program has proven effective for students with various learning styles and socioeconomic backgrounds in over 65 countries around the world. We believe that children’s progress in key social and cognitive developmental milestones is a prerequisite to academic success. To implement this philosophy, our teachers receive training in Dr. Stanley Greenspan’s developmental approach to education presented in his book, The Learning Tree.
