PTA Grants

Teachers and staff are offered an opportunity to also apply for grants that enhance or extend the student experience. Priority will be given to grants whose impact will be felt by as many students as possible. Collaboration between teachers, both in the same grade and across grades and languages, is highly encouraged. Money can be used for guest speakers, field trips, equipment, materials, as well as professional development opportunities that specifically address the needs and interests of our international school community. To maximize the impact of the grants, priority will also be given to proposals that align with the goals articulated in McDonald’s CSIP,as well as to proposals supporting the school’s mission to challenge stereotypes and promote social justice.
