Chugiak World Discovery Seminar Program

Let’s do it again! WDS Culture Night to see “SIX” the musical was so much fun and we want to do it again! The best date available is April 16th, which is the same night as the ASD Band Festival, but we can’t find another date that works for all stakeholders. Never the less, we’d…

Thanks to all the students and parents who got together for the Spring Family Seminar Night! We ran two seminar rooms and discussed “The Internet,” a chapter from John Green’s The Anthropocene Reviewed.

62 World Discovery Seminar students, parents, siblings, friends, and teachers took in a night downtown with a stop at the museum, dinner and free time at 5th Ave Mall, and a night at the Performing Arts Center to see SIX The Musical.

Since SIX: The Musical has less in-classroom connections for the curriculum plans that our students are studying this year, we’d like to try doing an evening show instead of a traditional during-the-school-day field trip. We are hoping this style of trip:…

The 2023 Goodbye Breakfast will happen during 1st hour on Thursday, May 4th. 90% of WDS students have a WDS class during that hour. A select number of current juniors and seniors do not and will need to get a quick permission slip from their 1st hour teacher to attend. The Goodbye Breakfast is a…
