Wellspring trains MYP and DP students to participate in annual local and international Model United Nations (MUN) events. These types of extra-curricular activities provide an interactive educational experience that builds critical skills like public speaking, negotiation, research, and teamwork while fostering global awareness by simulating UN diplomacy, teaching international relations, and encouraging problem-solving for real-world issues. Students will represent different countries, research, debate global challenges (like human rights, climate change, security), draft resolutions, learn diplomacy and cooperate in an immersive, hands-on way that prepares them to be informed global citizens. 

Our PYP Grade 4 students took Wellspring on a trip around the world during our annual Global Village celebration! Students became true inquirers as they researched different cultures, traditions, and global perspectives. Students made real life connections to their own family’s cultural history and the diversity of Wellspring’s student population.

PYP Primary students enrolled in an IB programme gain knowledge by developing the ability to learn through research and hands on experiences by asking questions and discovering the answers for themselves. Parents’ Inquiry is a chance for Wellspring parents to participate in learning tasks similar to their children’s daily experiences.

Wellspring celebrated World Arabic Language Day with a special opening anthem performed by the school choir, followed by a distinctive program that blended tradition and modernity, with active participation from parents in a rich Arabic cultural exhibition. The event featured diverse stations, including a creative fusion of zajal and rap, dabke to techno beats, songs, and an “Express Yourself in Arabic” segment inspired by TEDx. The celebration concluded with a theatrical performance inspired by the works of Ziad Rahbani, followed by a special tribute honoring his artistic and intellectual legacy.

Wellspring accepts new school applicants year-round due to the various needs of international families. Early Years and Primary students have an annual Open House in December while Middle and Secondary students have a different Open House at City Centre Campus in March.

Interested families may apply on line by going to Wellspring’s website or by visiting each campus with an individual appointment.

The Arts, including Visual Arts, are an essential part of the IB curriculum. While some academic systems view the arts as extracurricular, the IB recognizes them as core to a well-rounded education. Visual Arts is one of the six subject groups within the DP, and students who choose it as a subject engage in a rich, research-based, and studio-driven experience.” IB

The Visual Arts Exhibition is the final, externally assessed component of the course. Over two years, students research, experiment, and create a cohesive portfolio of 8–11 original artworks, all based around a personal theme, inquiry, or conceptual focus.
