We’re proud to share a special moment that highlights the real-world impact of the IB principles our students engage with every day at Wharton DLA.

On Monday, one of our students, Lyla, had the incredible opportunity to testify at the Texas Senate’s State Affairs Committee in Austin regarding three bills currently under consideration—Senate Bills 1313, 1314, and 1316. These bills aim to reduce students’ exposure to smoke shops located near schools.

Although the bills are still in committee and awaiting a vote, this experience reflects the values of advocacy, civic engagement, and global citizenship that we cultivate through our IB framework. We are proud of Lyla’s voice and the example she sets for her peers and community.

While each grade level dives into specific aspects of teaching and learning within their current Unit of Inquiry on their weekly newsletter, we want to provide a campus-wide view of the incredible learning happening through our transdisciplinary units of study. You can support your child at home by discussing these essential questions with them.
