Devesa said she is looking forward to cooking with her students in the kitchen, which is completely accessible and adapted to their size. Today, the ELC contains a teaching kitchen specifically designed for the school’s youngest students. Awty certainly cooked with her preschool students when she began the school in 1956. The ELC continues a long tradition at the school― the tradition where teachers and students cook together. “The space in the school is exceptional, particularly the playground that enables students to have exceptional physical and motor experiences.” “It has the most beautiful view I have seen in my life, and trust me, I have seen a lot of schools,” stated long-time PS teacher Marie-Do Lee. Using the outdoor spaces for reading stories and changing places more often is a great joy for Kindergarten teacher Elise Devesa. There are also outdoor learning spaces available to the teachers and students. “Now it’s easier to work in small groups because there are more spaces available and we have the possibility of doing various workshops.” “The classrooms are huge,” describes CP teacher Anne Clonan. The ELC also includes outdoor classrooms, flexible learning spaces, student gardens, and a 20,000 square foot play space complete with a tricycle path, soccer field, and basketball court. The gymnasium features a rock-climbing wall, multipurpose courts, and a performance stage. The ELC includes 26 interactive classrooms, two multi-purpose rooms, art and music rooms, a teaching kitchen, a library, a media room, and dining facilities for students and faculty. Awty’s exceptional teachers and the education they provide has only been enhanced by this new campus. Our dual language program of French/English in Petite Section (PS), Moyenne Section (MS), and Grande Section (GS) has served as our bilingual model for over 25 years with French and English teachers collaborating to implement the curriculum. Awty would be proud of how the school has maintained this accreditation and commitment to French education. “While relocating our youngest students to a new campus was a big decision, Awty’s state-of-the-art early learning facility offers exceptional outdoor play and learning areas tailored to the needs of young children.”Īwty remains the only school in Houston accredited by the French Ministry of Education. “We are thrilled to welcome our youngest students to this remarkable new Early Learning Campus,” said Head of School Lisa Darling. ![]()
