A partnership between Washington Performing Arts Society and D.C. Public Schools, the Embassy Adoption Program annually connects 1,500 fifth- and sixth-grade students in 50 schools in all DC Wards with 52 embassies. Embassy officials and teachers design an individualized curriculum based on the culture of the country, the embassy's resources, DC Public School curriculum standards, and needs of the students. Diplomats visit the schools to give students a personalized understanding of their nation's positions on various world issues. WPAS Women's Committee members, many of whom are retired classroom and music teachers, serve as liaisons between the teachers and embassy officials. Classes adopted by embassies of Latin American and African countries and Spain also have the opportunity to host a WPAS In-School Artist Residency to gain greater insight in the art forms of those nations and their cultures. Embassy Adoption has inspired many students to continue exploring world cultures in senior high school through DCPS' International Studies Program. |
