John C. Daniels

School of International Communication

 

Our Mission

John C. Daniels School of International Communication is committed to the belief that all children are capable of learning. Through our dual language program, all children are instructed in Spanish and English with the goal of becoming bilingual and bi-literate in both languages by the end of eighth grade. We focus on the development of the whole child: intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially. Through this focus we address individual differences and needs while challenging and motivating each child to reach their full potential.

This is the time of year when families are starting to look at our school as they decide where to send their children to school in the fall.  We are busy setting up tables at magnet fairs (1/4/12 from 6-8pm at Hillhouse Fieldhouse and 1/14/12 at 12pm at Career High School), hosting Open Houses (1/18/12 at 6:30pm and 1/20/12 at 9:50 and 12:50), and giving personal tours by appointment. 

Our goal is to make sure that, if you are thinking about sending your child to Daniels School next year, you ave all the information and support you need to make that decision comfortably.  To that end, the application process is detailed below.  Please call the school at 203-691-3604 if you have any questions or would like to schedule a personal tour.

Here's what to do to apply:

  1. 1.  Decide what schools you will apply for.  JCD is a dual language school, and your child will learn all subjects in both English and Spanish in grades K-5.  Please take our specialized bilingual program into consideration as you choose your top 3 preferences.
  2. 2.  Visit us for an Open House or a personal tour.
  3. 3.  Submit a magnet application by February 17.  You can send a paper copy to the Magnet Office at 54 Meadow St.; New Haven, CT  06519 or submit it online HERE. 
  4. 4.  Watch for a letter from the magnet office shortly after the lottery on March 13, 2012.  Your letter will have a PIN which you need to have handy any time you call the NHPS magnet office for updates or more information. 
  5. 5. We can schedule another visit (PK-2) or a shadow day (3-8) once you know you've been accepted.

Dear Wellness Committee and staff,

There will still be a meeting tomorrow morning to go over the latest with our garden that will be started outside of our school. We look forward to adding to our group that is dedicated to the improvment of our school. Any parent interested in discussing health and wellness issues is invited to join us each month.  We ask you to come at 7:30 in the first floor conference room so that we can finish by 8am, when the teacher in-service begins.

Thank you for all your support,

Katie Hale

Second grader receives the surprise of a lifetime PDF Print E-mail

Photo c/o New Haven Independent/Allen Appel PhotographyThere was a special assembly on Friday to remind students to continue bringing donations for our Soldiers' Angels Drive (individually packaged snacks and candies; socks and smaller-sized personal care items like shampoo, lotion and sunblock) which ends on November 9th. The assembly was especially special for one second grader who was surprised when his father, a deployed soldier who just arrived home for a short vacation, appeared on the stage in the middle of the assembly.

The New Haven Independent and the New Haven Register (with video) published touching articles about the reunion.
