Uptown School is in the process of becoming a fully authorized IB World School, offering the MYP and DP programs. The school discussed its mission, progress towards MYP and DP authorization, and areas for improvement. Key points included expanding staff, improving language pathways, integrating technology, strengthening communication, expanding learning opportunities, and developing a numeracy strategy based on student data. Faculty presentations provided updates on the MYP, SEN, PE, design subjects, and community and service programs. Attendees were asked to consider ways to support the school's development through volunteering, skills, or community connections.
