Hathaway Brown's Globally-Focused Curriculum

In the past year, Hathaway Brown has expanded its globally-focused course offerings across the curriculum, created and developed programs that pair HB students and faculty with international partners around the world, and broadened its sponsorship of co-curricular opportunities, both on campus and off, that have deepened the HB community's understanding of international matters.

Hathaway Brown is in the process of establishing its Center for Global Citizenship, a clearinghouse for international interests at the school that will focus its work on curricular matters as well as innovative programming.  This year, HB students will travel to France, The Gambia, Spain, and Germany, and the school has hosted, or will host in the coming year, guests from these nations along with Iran, Nepal, and Romania.

San Domenico School's Global Responsibility Forum

In 2004, the San Domenico Upper School instituted a Global Responsibility Forum. In the Upper School, we recognize that one of our strengths is how students and faculty address the challenges facing our world. Our school Mission and Dominican tradition call us to respond with integrity to the needs of our times.

In acknowledging our commitment as global citizens to social justice & truth, we seek additional ways to learn more about challenges to human rights, to the environment, to justice, and to the relationship between religion and politics in international affairs. The Global Responsibility Forum focuses on these topics through a variety of activities, including a speaker series that involves our campus ministry program, international relations teachers, and social justice club.

Past speakers have included Rev. Stephen Privett, President of University of San Francisco, Mark Danner, Professor of Graduate School of Journalism at University of California at Berkeley, and Paula Huntley, author of The Hemingway Bookclub of Kosovo.

St. Margaret's School: International Opportunities

Thirteen schools from nine countries, all named for Queen Margaret of Scotland, have formed an association to provide opportunities for international exchanges and cross-cultural program development. Our schools share a common heritage and a commitment to the education of young women and provide a comfortable home in another country for visiting teachers and students.

Each winter, two tenth-grade students from St. Margaret's School in Berwick, Australia, join our school for three months, returning home in April with two of our students for 10 weeks of study and three weeks of travel. During the summer between the 11th and 12th grades, two more students are selected to join the Queen Margaret College Community in Wellington, New Zealand, for a six-week study/travel program. In March 2005, 20 girls from St. Mary's School will participate in a choir tour of England and Scotland with 180 students from 9 other Queen Margaret of Scotland schools.
