Enrichment - International School of Boston
Please remember that there is important information in both the left and the right columns. Thank you! Stay Connected Restez connecté May 27, 2016 This week I would like to update the community on the progress (very gradual!) of our most ambitious capital project ever, the conversion of the Matignon Convent into a classroom building. Enrichment Program: Odaiko New England The proverb, "Rome was not built in a day" or "Rome ne s'est pas faite en un jour," is common to both English and French, and that Eternal-City wisdom surely applies to our current situation. Last summer we began discussions with Matignon High School and the All Maternelle students went to see a Japanese Drum Concert and some of them even participated! 3rd Graders at the Plimoth Plantation Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston (the latter owns the property, but we are subleasing through Matignon H.S.), and we had hoped to sign a 20year lease several months ago. As it has turned out, the finalization of the lease has taken longer than anticipated, but we do think it will be signed very soon. However, back in early February, during the only really cold weekend of the winter, the majority of the radiators and many of the heating pipes in the empty building froze and burst. The Archdiocese covered the damages, but the repairs took quite a few weeks, which has led to similar delays in getting bids from contractors, applying for permits, etc. Before these delays occurred, we had hoped, if all went well on a timeline that was already tight, to be able to open our new classroom annex for the start of school in September. Unfortunately, this will no longer be possible, since we are now several months behind our original schedule. But, albeit with some delay, we will in due course complete the renovation of the first and second floors (what can be thought of as Phase One of the project). As mentioned in earlier messages, these floors will be the new home for grades 4 and 5, complete with their own science room. Their move to the annex will free up six large rooms in our main building, for use by grades in the Middle and Upper Schools. Two other levels in the annex - the basement and the third floor - will eventually be renovated as well in what could be thought of as Phase Two, depending on our needs and on funding. (If you see a hint in that last word, you would not be mistaken!) For a closer look at what the finished rooms will look like, complete with renderings by the architectural firm of Maryann Thompson and Associates, I invite you to follow this link. And if you should feel inclined to add your support to this project, so much the better!

Concours Kangourou Final Results International Springfest Saturday, June 4th 11am-3pm We would like to congratulate all of our students who took the Kangarou math test, and in particular, those who received high honors. There is no specific training in class for that contest. The student have to apply their math knowledge and critical thinking skills in a different way. Therefore, we are very pleased with their results and would like to thank them for their hard work in math during the school year.
