                                                       Global Citizen Philosophy
 

”A twenty-first century education, which considers the learning process of each individual, and is set up in a context of global connections and global awareness, is capable of developing students who move beyond discrete skills to a holistic ability to act as a global citizen.

A global citizen is able to critically examine world issues and life experiences of people from around the world with empathy and understanding.

A global citizen understands and appreciates diversity as a strength of human life and communicates with others for the purpose of inclusion. To develop such global citizens from the students we serve, we must first develop ourselves. 

It takes global citizens to develop global citizens.”
