College Hill International Baccalaureate World School invites you to join our school on a journey toward lifelong learning. Our program develops the total child by addressing intellectual, social, physical, emotional and cultural needs using researched based best practices in education.
Teams of teachers collaborate to develop meaningful units of study that provide direction on their journey. These units use an inquiry approach that maximizes students' abilities to ask and develop answers to questions while engaging students in active problem solving.
Our curriculum exceeds the Arkansas State Standards. The pacing will provide a challenging, engaging environment for highly motivated students. Beyond high academic standards, a strong emphasis will be placed on the ideals of international understanding and responsible citizenship.
College Hill International Studies students will become critical and compassionate thinkers, lifelong learners and informed participants in local and world affairs. They will be conscious of the shard humanity that binds all people together while respecting the variety of cultures and attitudes that make for the richness of life. |

2006-2007
Inner and outer beauty was celebrated in word and deed by College Hill fourth graders. At Bobby Ferguson Park, they gained botany skills by identifying trees and planting flowers, and enhanced their artistic skills by turning pond-side wooden benches into works of art. In December, students brought holiday spirit to downtown Texarkana, decorating the windows of empty and abandoned stores in time for a citywide holiday parade and tree-lighting ceremony. And returning by popular demand, students began their second year as mentors for special needs adults at Opportunities, Inc.
