Why FLoW21?
Like no other school, WAB will know your child and customize the learning experience to best prepare him or her for a rapidly changing future.
What will FLoW21 look like?
Every decision we make in FLoW21 is based on research, case studies from other schools, and best practices for learning in the 21st century.
WAB teachers hail from all across the globe. 27 nationalities are represented among our staff, 65% with 10 or more years of teaching experience and 6 years of average tenure. Our teachers all have at least a Bachelor's degree, and many hold a Master's or PhD - as well as a teaching certificate. They are highly professional, child-focused, warm, caring and supportive.
All WAB teachers are also certified for teaching the International Baccalaureate PYP/MYP/DP curriculums, and many have continued and developed their IB knowledge to now serve as trainers for others. Learn more about joining our teaching team.
I love watching the students develop as people - particularly the students who come to WAB with a few rough edges or a chip on the shoulder. The environment here is so positive and accepting that anyone and everyone somehow gets caught up in the general goodwill and comes out of their time at WAB more whole and healthy.
