Enhancing Engagement in Life Science
The launch of Unit 4 Structure, Function and Information Processing was full of excitement with an exploration of scientific concepts in an immersive, 3D environment as a hands-on approach to learning. Our 7th graders had the opportunity to visualize abstract and complex concepts such as cellular processes in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, making them more accessible and understandable for our students as this visual aid promotes engagement and deeper comprehension.
Task Challenge in Mathematics
Students engaged in the collaborative game '#100 Task', an innovative approach to discover the core aspects of teamwork in mathematics. This interactive activity highlighted the importance of communication, collaboration, and pattern recognition in understanding complex scenarios. It was an excellent opportunity for students to appreciate the power of unity and cooperation, setting a constructive and collaborative tone for the upcoming school year.

We are delighted to introduce Mr. Favian Gonzalez as the new Dean of Engagement and Discipline at the American Nicaraguan School. Mr. Gonzalez joins us with a rich background in student development, ready to make a significant impact on our school's educational landscape.
In his role, Mr. Gonzalez will be instrumental in promoting student engagement and discipline, key areas that contribute to academic success and personal growth.
