UPPER SCHOOL

Summer Messages – Preparing for the 2023-2024 School Year

You will receive two important emails this summer with information for the upcoming school year. The first message will be sent on Wednesday, July 5 and the second message on Wednesday, August 23. 

Global Learning Leading Diploma

On Thursday June 1, 2023, successful graduating students were acknowledged for the completion of the Global Learning Leading Diploma (GLLD) program through the Forum for Change. Each student was awarded a pin as a symbol of their commitment and hard work in the program. 

One of the intents of the program is to explore the world’s interconnectedness and the importance of fostering compassion, empathy and respect across cultures and boundaries. As a group, these individuals have delved into the issues that affect our world – from climate change and poverty to inequality and injustice. Each of the GLLD recipients have shown the ability to think critically and propose innovative approaches that bridge divides and foster unity.

The Forum for Change will open up applications to the program for students in grades 10 and 11 in early Fall.
