7th grade Advisory Groups were asked to prepare a presentation on the IB Learner Profile characteristic of Caring. They shared their work during this 7th grade town hall gathering. We asked students to think about what it means to be a caring School Lane student day-to-day.

These 7th grade students were nominated by their peers for being caring. Caring is one of the characteristics in the IB Learner Profile.

Hello School Lane Community, April and May are the months of testing in education! Students are getting ready to sit for PSSAs, Keystones and IB exams. Teachers are busy preparing students. Throughout the year, our students have been taking STAR 360 tests in Math and Language and Literature. We have been working with teachers to use the data which comes out of these tests to inform instruction. I am proud to announce we have seen significant growth in both subject areas across the grade levels. We will continue to use this data to set goals for our students. Over time, we want to help students create their own goals based on these scores and the teacher feedback they get on their assignments based on the IB Rubrics. On April 27 the 9th and 10th grade student leadership group is hosting a movie afternoon. There is still time to sign up for this event. On April 28 Middle School SGA is hosting a Culture Day. We are asking families to donate desserts so we can all appreciate the wonderful diversity of the School Lane Community. Please use this Sign Up Genius form to tell us what you are able to donate! I am promising to bring a Bakewell Tart, a British institution in itself! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094FAAAC23A5FCC16-desserts Over the next few weeks, grades 7-10 will be preparing for a grade level assembly. We have asked Advisor Groups to spend time reflecting on a characteristic of the IB Learner Profile and to prepare something to share in the assembly. We wish all of our students good luck as they go through the testing these next few weeks. We are very proud of what they have accomplished this year. Sincerely, Colette Weber Principal, IB Campus.

The Personal Project Exhibition was fantastic last night! Congratulations to the 10th Grade.

Our MYP Personal Project Exhibition takes place one week from today- Tuesday, March 14th from 6:30-7:30 pm at the IB Campus (3350 Tillman Drive). The Personal Project is the “capstone” project in the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), with students choosing to explore an interest of their own, working through the process of creation, and then finishing with a final product. The Grade 10 students have been working on this over the last seven months and are excited to celebrate and share their learning journey with you through a presentation to families and community in a museum-walk format. Here are a few highlights from last year!

Bensalem Bus 20 has just arrived. The students are on their way home. Thank you for your patience.

Students experience the physical side of acting today with more scenes from Romeo and Juliet.

Winter Band Concert


Our middle school and high school students held an amazing winter concert celebrating the art of music. Led by Mr. Cabrera, the jazz band played Blue Bossa, with Corey Apelt on the trumpet and Brandon Ngo performing an extraordinary jazz solo on the piano. Kirandeep Kaur and Alicia Thomas performed an astonishing duet with exceptional drumming skills by Vanessa Kamara as the band played Mr. P.C. With a few months of preparation, the outstanding Orchestra Ensemble played afterward, led by the marvelous Ms. Morishita with breathtaking performances of Above and Beyond, Jurassic Park, and Tambora.

I (Mohamad Kamara) conducted an interview with a band member, Alicia Thomas to learn more about how they got ready for this challenging event. Her response was, "To get ready for the concert, we practiced during many APP periods in the middle school music room. "

If you weren't able to see this magnificent concert, don’t worry, there will be many more in the future. For updates and upcoming events in the future, check the School Lane Charter School Instagram, Facebook, and website page.
