PBL in Action

By: Principal Marilyn Lane

P – B – L …. We use those letters often to describe learning at CBA. But what do we mean when we say them? PBL stands for Project Based Learning. PBL is a teaching method in which students become problem solvers, learning by seeking to see real needs faced by real people and doing real work to solve them as they become world changers.

September 29: 2nd Annual Mighty Oak Art Contest

It’s time for the second annual CBA Mighty Oaks drawing contest! 

The mascot for Charleston Bilingual Academy is the Mighty Oak. Why an oak tree? As we look outside, the oak trees of Charleston remind us of why we do what we do. Their branches spread far and wide, bearing fruit, serving others as they provide shelter and shade. Their roots sink deep, absorbing nutrients and water while at the same time anchoring the tree. And the trunk unites the two, carrying the water and nutrients between the roots and crown, giving support over years of growth. The oak is an astounding picture of the individual we want to see our students become, leaders planted deep in Truth, continually growing, and spreading far and wide in serving others. Isaiah 61:3 tells us that “they will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of His splendor.”
