Thank You for Believing in the Change!

Northwestern will transform into a K–8 visual and performing arts academy. Students will:

• Have more opportunities to explore their passion in the arts.
• Experience increased stability and build strong, long-term relationships with educators.
• Engage in community performances and true community partnership, positively influencing the surrounding neighborhood and the community at large.
• Benefit from important safety renovations and new construction including studios and labs for visual and performing arts, kindergarten classrooms, restrooms, playground additions, auditorium renovations, support spaces and more.

Springfield is poised to apply for candidacy as an IB MYP candidate school in Spring 2023. While the process of becoming a fully authorized IB school takes several years, students will begin to experience the benefits of the IB model well before authorization is completed, much like students and families have seen with the IB implementation process at Fremont. Students will:

• Think about issues and ideas from local, national and global perspectives.

• Learn how to ask questions, embrace challenges, and empathize with others.

• Benefit from important building renovations to ensure students learn in state-of-the-art facilities.
