WELCOME BACK AKIBA
The start of the year is fast approaching and we cannot wait to see the campus filled with smiling students again! This year will be a special one as it marks the 10th anniversary of the Schultz Rosenberg campus. We have some special events and fun activities planned and we can't wait to see you!
COMING SOON
We are excited to announce our plan to roll out an entirely new website! Here is a little sneak peak!
 

Akiba faculty went on a surprise field trip Wednesday to rev up their creative juices and get excited for the new year! SPARK! just opened in Dallas as a creative space for learning and adventure. Teachers played on slides, climbed through tunnels, made art out of recycled material, and performed improv! We put ourselves in the kid's shoes and had a blast! It was a great way to expand our views on 21st century learning and bring some fun and creativity back to the classroom. For more information on SPARK! visit their website www.sparkdallas.org
