Riverstone is excited to anounce the creation of a new MYP unit and international link with Colegio CIEDI in Bogota.
CIEDI is quite similar in philosophy to Riverstone. It is a bilingual IB (PYP, MYP, DP) world school for 500 students situated on the norther edge of Bogota.
The new Grade 8 unit involves student comparing and contrasting the interdependency of humanity and the environment in Bogota and the rain forest with Boise and the Rockies.
The culminating assessment uses the latest technology to simulate real business world projects. Group of 4 students (2 from Boise and 2 from Bogota) will work collaboratively using web 2.0 technology to create a joint presentation.
Following the project, students from Bogota will visit Riverstone, stay with host families, attend classes and take part in the spring outdoor trips.
Student from Boise will have the option to attend classes for a few weeks in Colegio CIEDI in spring. The only cost for this exchange will be the cost of plane ticket.
