every child’s time here is memorable, enjoyed, and successful
Alice Birney Elementary is an International Baccalaureate
magnet enrolling K-5 students, a 2010 California Distinguished School. We
continue to rise to the challenge of meeting the needs of a very diverse
student population. We acknowledge that academic success is paramount for all
of us, yet the Birney goal is to also make sure that every child’s time here is
memorable, enjoyed, and successful. Our motto is, “Think globally, learn
locally,” which means we take into account the global perspective in addition
to our own, and we recognize and respect the last thought in the IBO’s mission
statement: Other people, with their
differences, may also be right.
