Traveling abroad is always a strong desire and passion for Evansville Day School students, families, and teachers alike. Whether the international travel is with our families, or within an educational program, it can be challenging, but also rewarding in many ways. 

When we say we are culturally diverse, we mean it. Did you know that in our current 5^th grade class seven students out of the 16 speak a second language fluently? These students represent 6 countries: Spain, France, Romania, Pakistan, India, Germany, and Japan.  Likewise, 22% of our student body identifies as multi-cultural.

As you walk into our building from the Primary School entrance, you find yourself inside our Rainbow Hallway. If you continue, you’ll reach our library, but it may not be what you expect to see. You will still find shelves upon shelves of books, tables, chairs and rugs, but you’ll also find a lot more as this space provides many new opportunities for our students in JPK through 4th grade.

Think back to when you were in school. In addition the the knowledge you gained from your classroom studies, wouldn’t it have been nice to be able to pick a topic about which you are really passionate, and learn as much as you could about it? I’m talking about something that really interested you, but you might not learn about during the regular course of study. This idea is exactly what “Genius Hour” is all about!

On November 18th, Evansville Day School Global Honor Society students collaboratively organized an International Celebration Day to promote cultural diversity and understanding.

Math often receives a bad reputation for not being applicable to students (or adults) in the “real-world.” While there is some truth to this sentiment (I never factor a trinomial while shopping), this isn’t true all the time. Students do not have to be professional mathematicians or scientists or engineers to see how math is used in the “real-world” (although there are some awesome examples of math in action in the STEM field).
