Although the popular song says “It’s a Small World After All,” that doesn’t seem to apply to St. Alcuin Montessori School's ever-growing International Festival. More than 300 participants attended the much-anticipated event hosted by the Parents’ Club and the Diversity Committee on April 26. The festival featured more than 20 colorful booths representing countries from around the world. The nations exhibited had cultural ties to St. Alcuin students and their families and showcased the school’s global community. Many parents, grandparents and students staffed the booths dressed in their country’s native attire. The festival was topped off with the “Parade of Nations” led by Walter Sorensen, Head of School, which is a favorite part of this St. Alcuin tradition.

St. Alcuin inspires its students to reach their highest levels of personal and academic achievement, guides them to become compassionate global citizens, and prepares them to embrace challenges with confidence and innovation by providing the ideal Montessori and International Baccalaureate education.
