Inclusion: AI for Inclusion & Multilingual Learners

At WAB we believe that learning is a universal right and resource within our community.

We take a holistic and collaborative approach that recognizes and celebrates the diversity of our students, perceiving differences as assets and nurturing their interests. As such, we provide personalized support across disciplines and school sections, collaborating with families and external partners to ensure that our students achieve personal success.
