Girls & Global Citizenship
Learning, Leading, Sharing, Connecting
What does it mean to be a citizen of the world? Here in the opening decade of the 21st century, it means everything. Educating girls to participate fully in a 'world' of opportunities with confidence and competency is central to the girls' school mission. Knowledge of other cultures and instilling a sense of global responsibility is an essential ingredient in that education.
Girls around the world need to be talking to each other, sharing with each other. Because although there are a lot of differences among cultures, there is a lot that we have in common as well."
