Since becoming an Olympic Model School in 2008 ahead of the Summer Games in Beijing, WAB's Elementary School has kept up the inspiring tradition of connecting the members of our diverse student body through sports.

Our Olympic Dream Series is a lunchtime extracurricular program that invites students to try new individual and team sports in friendly competition against their classmates. Students represent their countries, and award ceremonies feature national flags and anthems of medal winners.

“When I was new to WAB, I did my first Olympic Dream Series, and I met so many people,” Grade 5 student Kylin said. “The next year, a lot of them were in my class, and they all became my friends.”
