The beginning of the school year is always a time of excitement, but it's particularly meaningful and busy for schools that are opening their doors for the first time.  Creative Minds International, one of the newest charter schools in the city opened on August 27. 

Creative Minds International located at 3224 16th St NW in Ward 1, is the first public school in the city to offer the International Primary Curriculum, including foreign language instruction in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, to students from pre-kindergarten to second grade in its first year of operation.

“The International Primary Curriculum makes learning fun for kids,” said Golnar Abedin, executive director and principal. The school will also have a project and arts-based curriculum.
