Who We Are
The KCPS International Welcome Center is a unique and innovative site that provides comprehensive support to the immigrant, migrant, refugee and non-native English speaking families in our community. Located on the 2nd floor of Woodland Early Learning Center, our goal is to provide a seamless transition to life and school in Kansas City.
What We Do
The KCPS International Welcome Center provides direct and meaningful instruction in English language development, English language arts, mathematics, social-emotional learning and general topics related to culture shock and the transition to life and school in Kansas City. We offer a half-day program to elementary age students. The students will ride the bus to their home school as all other students. Students in grades 4-6 will eat breakfast and board the bus to the Global Academy. They will return prior to lunch. Students in grades K-3 will spend the morning at their home school and come to the KCPS International Welcome Center after lunch. We ensure that all students are able to participate in the Arts, physical education and recess at their home schools.
