Vernon Middle School World Languages Academy

Vernon Middle School World Languages Academy In the 2019-2020 school year, Vernon became Vernon Middle School World Languages Academy. The ribbon cutting was held in March of 2020.

Vernon Middle School World Languages Academy is one of the longest standing campuses in the Rio Grande Valley with rich academic achievement, earning high academic honors. The focus of World Languages Academy is to provide the HCISD middle school experience, plus get an option of learning a different language. Because of the rigor as high school language credit courses, students are admitted throu

gh an application process and work in small learning cohorts. Students who are accepted into the World Languages Academy select a language of choice: Chinese, French or American Sign Language. In addition, our middle school offers Spanish at different levels for beginners and for students coming in from the elementary Dual Language campuses in HCISD. As our Mustangs leave Vernon, some may be multilingual learners and attain high school credit after successful completion in their classes. The transition included some infrastructure improvements. A bronze-metal globe was placed in the front to symbolize the global experience and the benefit that our students will get when they compete with students around the world. On the south side of the campus, eight flag poles were added to place flags as a symbol of appreciation and respect to different cultures around the world. Our American and Texas flag fly with 6 other countries. Vernon is currently in the IB candidate phase. Vernon Middle School World Languages Academy will apply for official IB status and is in the implementation stages.

7th grade Mustangs collaborated in small groups to construct and model molecules representing elements and compounds, applying their understanding of the composition and structure of matter. Students engaged in academic discourse as they explained their models and discussed the differences between elements and compounds. They documented their learning by drawing and labeling scientific diagrams in their journals, providing evidence of their understanding through both visual representations and written explanations. ❤️🖤🌎🏆

Students in Ms. Mendiondo and Mr. Medrano's 6th grade science class worked individually to design and create their own Skittles Security Box using the MYP Design Cycle. We loved seeing all the different ideas they came up with, no two designs were the same! They planned, created, tested, and made changes along the way!
