Overall structure of the GCD
The core values of global citizenship reflect an understanding of others, awareness, action and advocacy.
In addition to core values, each student has an individual combination of competencies that shape what they contribute to the world.
Sometimes students transcend their roles as students and participate in the world as adults with paraprofessional expertise.
