Building Global Citizens Through Creativity, Compassion, and Critical Thinking.

Global Education

What Is Global Education?

Global Education is a vibrant enrichment experience that helps children grow into thoughtful, kind, and globally aware individuals. 

Each week, children engage in project-based learning that integrates literacy, STEM activities, cultural exploration, and social-emotional development. Whether they're building recycled boats, layering sand to represent rights, or redesigning empathy bears, students apply critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity to real-world themes like empathy, global responsibility, and self-advocacy. 

They don't just learn about the world—they learn how to make it better.
