Who We AreMission
To produce lifelong learners who are not only multilingual but also empathic, innovative, and empowered advocates and practitioners of ethical life in our global village. Vision Our purpose is to offer English educational experiences that awaken the power of learning in every student and prepare young people with the interdisciplinary skills, motivation, competencies, and ethical framework for building a just, diverse, sustainable, and peaceful global society in the 21st century. Rationale Traditional educational models were developed at the outset of the Industrial Revolution and no longer adequately prepare students for the 21st century. Moreover, education is falling behind in technological progress as well. At the outset of the 21st century, we recognize that humanity is facing a series of crises. Our world is and our children will be faced with societal, economic, environmental, and personal challenges. It is our belief that education can and should seek to be part of the solution to global problems. Our overarching goal of education at Aldea Global School is to not only help students establish foundational and bilingual fluencies in reading, writing, grammar, math, science, and humanities but also to inculcate ethical attitudes and character wherein students actively utilize their skills and knowledge to seek creative solutions to global and community problems. Education must innovate and evolve in order to prepare and empower students to develop into world changers. As a laboratory for learning, we will draw from innovative findings in educational research in order to inform--and expand--our programmatic choices |
