Forest Ridge School's "Think Global" Citizenship Program

Think Global is a Forest Ridge program that envisions its students becoming responsible citizens and compassionate leaders in our global society. The global program builds on existing programs; uses technology for developing new relationships, for joint-learning projects, and for communication across cultures; and increases opportunities for living experiences in another culture.

The program, based on the criteria of Sacred Heart education, embraces cross-cultural experiences in Australia, Asia, Central and South America, Africa, and Europe in collaboration with sister Sacred Heart schools and ministries.

The program strives to make Forest Ridge students at ease in a global environment by creating opportunities for them to work with technological tools, experience cultures that are both face-to-face and faceless, and practice skills to resolve problems and issues of misunderstanding. Forest Ridge is a member of the Sacred Heart, which is fostering conversation among its schools on the subject of global education.
