Global Studies & Travel

To respond to our more interactive and connected world, we must educate our students for cultural literacy and global citizenship. It is important for our students to empathize with and be eager to gain knowledge about local, regional, national, and global issues. They must understand and appreciate cultural differences, alternative viewpoints, and others’ values. Each year, students apply to participate in local and global experiences that help them develop a broad understanding of the diverse world in which they live.
