School Notes
- Mundo Verde is an Expeditionary Learning school and D.C.`s first school dedicated to both education for sustainability and Spanish-English biliteracy. Mundo Verde`s doors opened in August 2011, and currently offers preschool through fourth grade and will grow through fifth grade which will be added in 2016. Mundo Verde promotes selfdiscovery and critical thinking, encourages teamwork, builds character, and capitalizes on children`s innate spirit of adventure through handson, projectbased learning. Our social curriculum utilizes the responsive classroom approach, which is based on the premise that children learn best when they have both academic and social-emotional skills. We believe that all students benefit from the inclusion of students with disabilities in the general education classroom. The school`s focus on sustainability, health and wellness teaches that natural, social, and economic systems are linked and interdependent.
