2023 International Day at Beck--Asia & Oceania
2024 International Day at Beck--The Americas
2025 International Day at Beck--Europe & Africa
Our diverse student population includes students from over 25 different elementary schools and more than 20 different countries. Each year we take approximately one-third of the globe and learn about those countries as a school; at the end of a student’s three years at Beck, he or she will have (virtually) traveled around the world! Last year our focus was on Africa and Europe; this year we will study Asia and Oceania; and next year, we will “travel” to The Americas.
Our global studies culminate in a student-directed International Day Festival in March, which coincides with Greenville’s International Month. Students, along with their families, share the cultures of the countries they’ve studied throughout the year, including foods, traditions, and favorite pastimes.
The 2026 International Day Festival will be held March 25, 2026! Please complete THIS FORM if you are interested in helping out. We are actively seeking volunteers for home country table demonstrations, visual artists, musicians, guest speakers, and others! It takes a village to make this day a rich learning experience for our students!
Note: As part of the magnet curriculum, students enrolled as magnet students will take Spanish each year. When students are in 8th grade, they will take Spanish for high school credit.
