Vancouver Public Schools will open enrollment applications for the 2023-2024 school year for its two new choice schools — Vancouver Innovation Technology and Arts Elementary School (VITA) and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Elementary School (RBG) — on Feb. 21.
VITA provides project-based learning, which accentuates student-led, long-term group projects with focuses on creativity and collaboration. This school year, VITA served as a lab school where students spent two weeks at a time exploring the school’s approach to learning, which is one of few in Washington.
RBG will be the district’s first fully dual-language Spanish/English choice school and will only enroll students in kindergarten and first grade next year, with the goal of starting students at a younger age.
Both schools will use a blind lottery system for student acceptance, will be open to all students in the district and transportation will be provided.
