The IB Middle Years Programme at Wilbur & McMahon At Wilbur & McMahon, the Middle Years Programme brings learning to life for students in Grades 5-8. Through hands-on inquiry and real-world connections; students explore big ideas, ask meaningful questions and discover how their learning matters beyond the classroom. Along the way, they build important skills - like communication, organization and critical thinking - that help them grow as confident, caring members of their community. In Grade 8, students take the lead with the Community Project, using their passions and creativity to make a positive impact locally and globally. What is the MYP? What is an IB Education? To learn more about the International Baccalaureate Click Here 5th Grade Transition to the IB Middle Years Programme The 2025–2026 school year marks the beginning of Grade 5’s transition into the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP). This year will serve as a soft implementation phase, allowing teachers to deepen their understanding of the IB framework while gradually introducing key elements—such as the IB Learner Profile—to students. The process focuses on aligning and embedding MYP practices and assessment approaches with the strong instructional methods and RIDE-aligned curriculum already in place in Grade 5. This thoughtful integration will help ensure a smooth and cohesive learning experience as students move from elementary into the full MYP in Grade 6. This transition reflects our district’s commitment to developing curious, reflective, and globally minded learners who take action to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond. 6th Grade Building the Foundations Grade 6 is students’ second full year as MYP learners. They explore subjects through Global Contexts—real-world themes that connect classroom learning to local and global issues—and begin intentionally developing ATL skills such as communication, organization, collaboration, and reflection. Teachers design inquiry-based learning experiences that help students see connections between subjects and understand how their choices and actions shape the world around them. 7th Grade Deepening Inquiry and Skills In Grade 7, students strengthen and expand the skills introduced in Grades 5 & 6. They continue developing ATL skills across disciplines and explore Global Contexts in greater depth. Emphasis is placed on critical and creative thinking, research, and self-management, as students take greater ownership of their learning. Interdisciplinary projects challenge them to apply their understanding to complex, real-world problems and to consider multiple perspectives. 8th Grade Culminating in the Community Project Grade 8 represents the culmination of the MYP at Wilbur & McMahon School. Students apply the skills and global awareness developed throughout the programme in the IB Community Project—a student-led inquiry that identifies a real community need and leads to meaningful action. Through investigation, planning, action, and reflection, students demonstrate independence, responsibility, and compassion. The Community Project showcases their growth as learners and celebrates their ability to make a difference in their community and the world. 8th Grade Community Project Click Here to Learn More

Curriculum Central Contents Overview Math Curriculum Math Standards ELA Curriculum ELA Standards Science Curriculum Science Standards Civics and Social Studies Unified Arts Physical Education Health World Language Introduction Curriculum maps and guiding documents are more than just artifacts frozen in amber. When they are developed effectively, they are living documents that invite continuous improvement and become a dynamic record of institutional knowledge. Considerable work in this area has been done at Wilbur and McMahon School in ELA, Math, and Science over the past two years. However, there is always more work to do. MATHEMATICS : Eureka Math2 (Grades K-5) and EnVision Mathematics Common Core (grades 6-8), and Envision Algebra 1 are the foundation of our mathematics curriculum. ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS : EL Education K-8 Language Arts from Open Up Resources forms the foundation of our mathematics curriculum . SCIENCE : The Rhode Island Model Science Curriculum includes Year-at-a-Glance, Scope and Sequence and Units of Study for K-5 grade levels, grades 6-8 grade span and high school biology, chemistry and physics but will be phased out by RIDE by June 30, 2023. The Little Compton School Department is ahead of the game and has migrated to FOSS (Full Option Science System) -- a research-based science curriculum for grades K-8 developed at the Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley. FOSS has evolved from a philosophy of teaching and learning that has guided the development of successful active-learning science curricula for more than 40 years. The FOSS Program bridges research and practice by providing tools and strategies to engage students and teachers in enduring experiences that lead to deeper understanding of the natural and designed worlds. Science is a creative and analytic enterprise, made active by our human capacity to think. Scientific knowledge advances when scientists observe phenomena, think about how they relate to what is known, test their ideas in logical ways, and generate explanations that integrate the new information into understanding of the natural and designed worlds. Engineers apply that understanding to solve real-world problems. Thus, the scientific enterprise is both what we know (content knowledge) and how we come to know it (science practices). Science is a discovery activity, a process for producing new knowledge. The best way for students to appreciate the scientific enterprise, learn important scientific and engineering concepts, and develop the ability to think well is to actively participate in scientific practices through their own investigating and analyses. The FOSS Program was created specifically to provide students and teachers with meaningful experiences through engaging with this active participation in scientific practices. SOCIAL STUDIES : The Rhode Island Grade Span Expectations (GSEs) for Social Studies and Civics and Government have been developed as a means to identify the content knowledge and skills expected of all students (grades K-high school). In addition, the LCSD also integrates Open Circle/Choose Love, ELA and Scholastic Classroom and News Magazines content into Social Studies and Civics and Government instruction. The LCSD K-8 Social Studies curriculum will be updated to sync with the emerging revision: in partnership with the Rhode Island History and Social Studies Advisory Committee (RIHSSAC), RIDE has launched the development of new social studies standards K-12 education in Rhode Island. This committee will also serve as a working group for a variety of initiatives, starting with one priority task--to review our current RI Social Studies Grade Span Expectations (RI SS GSEs) in light of recent legislation requiring high quality standards for all content areas (RIGL §16-22-30) .

...from the Principal's Desk Message from the Principal First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is John P. McKinnon and I am honored to be the new Principal at the Wilbur and McMahon School. I am a resident of Little Compton, a proud graduate of Wilbur and McMahon School, and a proud parent of five children, who all attended Wilbur and McMahon School. I have been in education for the last 35 years and have served as a school administrator for the past 19 years. Over my journey in education, I have taught at the elementary and high school levels, worked in an administrative role as a high school assistant principal, and most recently have served as Principal of Harris Elementary School in Woonsocket, RI. As an educational leader, it is essential that our school be a collaborative, safe, and healthy environment — a place where positive relationships are fostered for academic and social growth, and an educational and enriching space where every student is excited to learn. The Wilbur and McMahon School has always prepared students to meet the challenges in education and in life. This is due to not only the many dedicated teachers and staff members, but also to our parents and caretakers who are actively involved in the success of their students. This is a partnership that will enable our students to be successful in any path that they choose. I am excited and eager to begin as the Principal of Wilbur and McMahon School later this week. I look forward to working with our students, our teachers and our families. It will be a privilege to work in the school community that has had such an important role in the growth of all of our children.
