Principal's Message

Hello YDMA families,

It’s hard to believe that we are in the month of May already! I can still recall the faces of our students as they embarked on the beginning of the school year in September. The excitement, hope, and jitters from those first few days of school have given way to discovery, learning, and tremendous growth. Our students have engaged in various units of study so far and have embodied the IB attributes that we celebrate monthly during our awards assemblies.

It's wonderful to see the love of learning grow and flourish and to see that as we inch towards June and the end of the school year our students continue to blossom!

Read on to learn what each grade has been up to and see what we are learning as we continue to be thinkers and inquirers!
