Our approach to global studies is rooted in our mission: To create prepared, confident citizens of the world. Students explore the themes of culture, geography, civics, history and economics through an understanding of our community, state, nation and world. When addressing current events, students engage in activities that teach them how to investigate the world, consider a variety of perspectives, communicate ideas and take meaningful action. As a result of this approach, students discover links to the past, better understand the present and develop global competence.
