Program Description
The Global Studies Magnet Program offers a challenging and unique sequence of courses for students who are interested in global issues.
This program equips students with the knowledge, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills to thrive in a world of global interdependence.
The Global Studies Magnet Program is an intensive study of world regions, international challenges, cultures, governments, and economies. The rapid pace of globalization means that future graduates will need a more expansive study of the world, and what roles the United States plays in it. Students with an interest in history, international development, diplomacy, and world order will be challenged with an accelerated and unique curriculum within the comprehensive high school, studying human geography, international relations, comparative government and politics, and international law. Our goal is to develop a sense of responsibility to the world community and an understanding of what it means to be an active global citizen.
