Podcast: Broadening Horizons

Print

“We desire for our students to appreciate the value of diverse cultures and intercultural understanding.  …In the end, we really want our students to think beyond their immediate environment and value the world as their context for learning.” –Karen Jurjevich, Principal | Branksome Hall

In this episode of PEP Talks, we take a close look at two schools that have developed a truly innovative global programming approach to opening girls’ minds and broadening their horizons. NCGS talks to Karen Jurjevich, a member of the NCGS Board of Trustees and Principal of Branksome Hall in Toronto, and Cinde Lock, Principal of Branksome Hall Asia in Jeju, South Korea.

These sister schools offer globally focused curricula, student and faculty exchanges, and a shared belief in educating girls to be globally minded leaders who will thrive and solve problems in our complex, changing world.

“We are truly sister schools and it’s such a rare thing to have an international school set up with the same mission and vision and the same sense of curricular alignment and purpose.” –Cinde Lock, Principal | Branksome Hall Asia
