German Center of Excellence Lexington One was recently awarded the honor of being named a German Center of Excellence. This national honor recognizes districts with exceptional curriculum, highly qualified teachers, and a growing and thriving German program. The American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) said this about our program, "The jury was impressed in particular that the German program is so very well established and growing. There is clear evidence that the program has strong support from the administration, professional colleagues, parents and students, and has strong ties to the wider community." They also went on to praise our curriculum, and the value we place on student feedback saying, "This is truly a program that is designed to meet the needs of students." We are so proud of all of our immersion programs, and are especially pleased to have our German program become nationally recognized. School Updates Elementary Schools These students from GES are describing a project they made on landforms in science. Notice their beautiful accents as well as their knowledge of science content and their creativity in the creation of landforms out of play doh. Great job girls, and thank you Sra. Arias for providing fun opportunities for students to show their knowledge of science and language.

RBHS has recently created a partnership with a sister school, St. Martine de France in Paris, France. Students from St. Martine will visit RBHS in February 2020, and RBHS students will visit St. Martine in April of 2020. Students from St. Martine sent videos to our students and our students are now creating videos to send back. We also received this photo collage from St. Martine to help our students know what to expect when they arrive in Paris. Lexington One also has the following sister schools: Blaise Pascal in Clermont Ferrand, France, Adolfinum Gymnasium in Bückeburg, Germany and No. 1 Middle School in Chengdu, China.
