WFS Class of 2026 IB Diploma Candidates Showcase Their Journey
Last night, WFS honored the Class of 2026 International Baccalaureate Diploma candidates during the annual Celebration of Scholarship.
Each student delivered a 3–5 minute presentation reflecting on their growth through the program’s core components: Theory of Knowledge, Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS), and the Extended Essay.
In total, these students completed an extraordinary 405 unique pieces of individual scholarship—ranging from essays and investigations to presentations and creative projects—demonstrating both the breadth and depth of their academic journey. The evening highlighted the intellectual curiosity, dedication, and thoughtful inquiry that define the IB experience at Wilmington Friends School.
Lower school faculty, staff, and students celebrated the 5th grade class as they made one final walk through the halls this morning before entering the Meeting Room for gathering.
Middle school students enjoyed their last day by sharing appreciations, performing at the annual talent show, watching the 8th grade celebration video, and spending time with friends!
8th grade students explored tower design as part of their Innovative Architecture unit with Mr. Machado. Students learned about the history of towers, structural awareness, sustainable use of resources, and community oriented design.
Congratulations, Class of 2026! We are so proud of all you have accomplished during your time at Wilmington Friends School and can't wait to see where your journeys take you next.
From Taco Tuesday at home to a special lunch at La Tolteca, first graders celebrated their study of Mexico with delicious foods, new vocabulary, and lots of smiles!
