International Studies

The goal of the International Studies Magnet Program at Chimney Lakes Elementary school is to educate children within the context of understanding the cultures of many different countries.

We strive to give students an appreciation for the rich diversity of the world's cultures. We try to impart the experience of life in other parts of the world by frequently creating settings, displays and styles of dress in the native character of other societies. Strong emphasis is also placed on the study of geography.

At Chimney lakes Elementary school a professional faculty and staff, an involved group of parents, a proud community, and eager students have created an outstanding school. Specialists provide education in physical education, and media. Space and equipment for each of these important areas of our children's education is maintained in our state of the art building.
