The Global Academy: A micro-school focused on giving your child the skills to thrive in a global world.
At The Global Academy, we believe that the world is a classroom, and every child should have the opportunity to explore the rich diversity of cultures, languages, and perspectives that make our world so unique. Our curriculum is designed to immerse students in global learning, empowering them to understand and appreciate the interconnectedness of all people.
Cultural Exploration: Students dive into the traditions, customs, and history of diverse cultures through interactive projects, virtual exchanges, and global community collaborations, ensuring that every child gains a broader worldview.
Language Immersion: We offer a dynamic approach to language learning, encouraging children to engage with languages like Spanish, Mandarin, French, and more. Through hands-on experiences, students learn languages not just as subjects, but as keys to global communication.
Global Citizenship: Our curriculum fosters responsible, empathetic global citizens. Students explore international challenges, learn to appreciate diverse perspectives, and develop the skills to think critically about solutions that benefit communities around the world.
Experiential Learning: At The Global Academy, we believe that the best way to learn about the world is by experiencing it. From virtual field trips to cultural arts workshops and international collaborations, our students immerse themselves in the world’s vast and varied landscapes.
