         Global Lighthouse Studios highlights the importance of looking at our past as a window to our future.  This flagship program, "Ancient Cities of the Future" will delve into the theme of Sustainable Cities. Throughout the semester, participants will explore a range of topics, including transport systems, urban planning, water management, sanitation, waste disposal, pollution mitigation, disaster risk reduction, education, and sustainable agriculture. Beginning with Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a foundational framework, students will examine the patterns and systems inherent in ancient societies, identifying their resonance in modern urban settings and envisioning their implications for future cities. By exploring these connections and experiences, students will develop a deeper understanding and empathy for both historical and contemporary populations facing similar challenges.  Together, let's inspire our students to think critically about the future and become proactive agents of change.

         Join us for "Garden Grooves," a unique collaborative initiative between Global Lighthouse Studios, Green Bronx Machine, and the David Z Foundation, aiming to empower students through music and global connections.

Global Lighthouse Studios will work with students as they immerse themselves in the renowned Green Bronx Machine curriculum—a dynamic program that integrates the cultivation of vegetables with academic instruction across all subjects, creating a comprehensive and engaging learning experience for students. Students gain hands-on experience in exploring, discovering, and creating their own ecosystems. Through this innovative curriculum, students will not only learn about urban agriculture but also explore the creative process of composing and performing music inspired by their experiences.This program is rooted in empathy and celebrates the dedication of teachers, students, families and communities, showcasing what is achievable when people unite for the well-being of children.

One of the highlights of this program is the opportunity for students to write and produce a song that reflects their journey and learnings. Students will be keeping a Healthy Habits journal and use their experience as an inspiration to write the song.  This song will not only showcase their talents but also serve as a powerful expression of their connection to global themes of sustainability, community well-being.  

By immersing students in music, growing healthy food, and fostering community engagement, we create a holistic approach to well-being. Healthy eating fuels the body and brain, providing essential nutrients that support cognitive function and emotional stability. Music, with its therapeutic qualities, reduces stress, enhances mood, and improves mental health. Together, these activities support physical, emotional, and psychological well-being, helping students lead more balanced and harmonious lives.

This program has just begun and we are excited to bring together music and the arts, gardening, healthy eating and well-being! 

The Musical Theater Program, provides students with an immersive, year-long creative journey that merges performance, storytelling, and cultural exploration.

Throughout the year, learners will not only develop their acting, singing, and dance skills but will also explore costume design, set production, and script adaptation. By reimagining the musical through the lens of their cultural experiences, students gain deeper insight into their heritage and the universal power of storytelling. The program culminates in a live performance, showcasing their original take on a modern classic, leaving a lasting impact on their creative and personal growth
