Global Education Program

We believe that...
- Learning is developmental
Learning should be collaborative- Assessment should be authentic
- Learning should be child-centered
- Students should be able to work independently and cooperatively
- We are all (teachers, students and parents) responsible for working together to build a true sense of community
- There should be cross-age learning in multi-age environments
- Students work best in a non-graded and ungraded environment
- Learning should involve hands-on, project-based, integrated and thematic learning
- Students are most successful when there is parent involvement
- Teachers should use a variety of resources
- Students should receive instruction within their zone of proximal development (regardless of grade level)
- Students should take an in-depth look at issues & problems and study how these issues cut across national boundaries and concern all people as citizens of a global community
- Students should examine historical perspectives and how they relate to current world situations.
- Perspective-taking (being able to see things through the eyes an minds of others) should be emphasized.
