Our goal is to have our students think globally, but act locally - through volunteerism and service to the communities.
Our school offers its scholars a pathway to success and opportunities to experience the world beyond their neighborhood through educational travel to local, state, national and international historic and cultural sites through our Global Expeditions Program. Our goal at GLA is to have our students think globally, but act locally - through volunteerism and service to the community.
WHAT IS THE GLOBAL EXPEDITIONS PROGRAM?
Our Global Studies program prepares our students to be active, knowledgeable citizens of a global society. Through international studies, students learn to understand how their actions as individuals impact the larger community. Most importantly, they learn to genuinely respect and accept the differences that make people and their cultures unique. Our goal is to have our students think globally, but act locally - through volunteerism and service to the communities.
