Ballard Elementary School

Ballard Elementary School The main lobby of the school has sound panels shaped in silhouettes of important landmarks that represent different time zones.

At Ballard Elementary we utilize Growth Mindset and Mindfulness to help increase our students engagement in learning, help students to reach their full potential, and continue to strive for and improve student academic growth. You will see that the entrances to our four main hallways have architectural replicas of the columns of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, the Coliseum in Rome, Italy, the Pazzi Chapel in Florence, Italy, and the Itsukushima Shrine in Japan. The time zones are indicated by four clocks showing the time in New York, London, Moscow, and Tokyo. In the Media Center, there are many panels which depict several landmarks including a New York skyline, and the Eiffel Tower. The elevator shaft is designed to replicate Big Ben in London and the walkway from the loft is the Golden Gate Bridge. The story house is designed as a half-timber house much like one you would see in Germany or Switzerland. Behind the Media Center are panels representing the Jefferson, Washington, and Lincoln Memorials in Washington, D.C. The walls of our cafeteria—which we call the Bistro—are painted with scenes of a French street
