Annona reticulata - seeds - Red Custard-Apple: Collaborating with 'Friends School in Ramallah' (which began in 1869), now an International Baccalaureate high school + which is taught in both English and Arabic, and explore how Quakerly to network WUaS with them in developing the online MIT OCW-centric WUaS, I.B. schools, first in English?


Am excited to re-visit online the idea of collaborating with 'Friends School in Ramallah' (which began in 1869), now an International Baccalaureate high school + which is taught in both English and Arabic, and explore how Quakerly to network WUaS with them in developing the online MIT OCW-centric WUaS, I.B. schools, first in English.

WUaS International Baccalaureate Diploma and Programme -

WUaS would plan to do this with the International Baccalaureate, both because of its international focus, as well as its online pilot program here - http://www.ibo.org/diploma/development/dponline/index.cfm - and in conjunction with Quakers.

Here are web sites for the Friends School in Ramallah:

Not only are they a Quaker school {and MIT OCW-centric WUaS is Quaker-informed in its monthly, business meeting process}, and they also have a historic relationship with the Quaker organization 'Friends United Meeting' in Richmond, Indiana, but they also could help inform the beginnings of WUaS's MIT OCW-centric, online university in Arabic -

and in many countries in the Middle East.

And here's the San Francisco Friends' School with which WUaS is also inquiring about collaborating possibilities - http://www.sffriendsschool.org/about-us/welcome - for an, online, MIT OCW-Scholar (http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/ocw-scholar/), Quaker-informed, I.B., upper school, in English, for example.
