We’re continuing our ¡Juntos! video series to answer your questions about the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Wharton. In this week’s video, Ms. Silva, our IB coordinator, explains how our students benefit from IB and how IB works in the classroom. 

Will you help us reach our goal of 150 families donating $50,000 to help sustain our IB program? To date, we’re at 25% of our goal with 35 Wharton families pledging $12,275 to Juntos. Thank you for your generosity! Here's how you can help:

• Donate monthly for a year or the entirety of your child’s time at Wharton
• Make a one-time donation in the amount of your choice

Bonus! Every family who donates to ¡Juntos! will receive an exclusive ¡Juntos! sticker.

We recently had a surge in COVID cases here at Wharton. Please remind your children to wear their masks, wash their hands, and keep their distance. The students are tired, we are tired, but we have to keep it up for as long as it takes.

Please don’t send your children to school with any symptoms, even you think it is “allergies”. COVID in children can look like allergies, strep, flu or even be without symptoms. Call your doctor, get them evaluated. There are a lot of “bugs” out there.
