User:Kpetty/Lincoln IB World Middle School

'Lincoln IB World Middle School' also referred to as just "Lincoln," is located in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Founding
Lincoln's outstanding facility is located on a secluded 50-acre site. The current building was built in 1974, and a $1.2 million addition and technology upgrade were completed in 1995. An additional gym and classrooms were added in 2001 through a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Larimer County. The original Lincoln was built in 1903 on Meldrum Street. It was Fort Collins High School until 1925, when the “new” FCHS was built on Remington Street.

Learning Culture
We have created a middle school environment by dividing the building into three smaller grade level “pods.” Each pod or wing consists of its own grade level that houses students, lockers, classrooms and teachers. Shared space includes visual and performing arts classrooms, computer labs, and a technology/robotics classroom. Teachers engage their students by using technology such as smartboards, clickers, and netbooks to teach 20th Century Skills.
