The entire Upper School community gathered together on the morning of January 29th, 2008 to listen to an interactive and energetic presentation from Mr. Eric de Groot, Principal of "Global Educations Matters" based out of Atlanta.
The presentation marked the beginning of the newest program, "The Global Speakers Series", which is sponsored by The Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Global Awareness Club. This new addition to the US events schedule provides our students with a valuable opportunity to hear from influential leaders from throughout the Atlanta area as they present on such topics as global awareness, cultural sensitivity, cross-cultural communication and collaboration and finally engaged global citizenship.
The ultimate goal is to better prepare our Upper School students to thrive in a diverse, international, interdependent 21st century world.
