Learning Opportunities

Students who have successfully completed the 10th grade global seminar course can choose to participate in the Model United Nations club.  This club is an extension of the course curriculum for 10th grade global seminar in which students participate as a team of individuals who represent a country of their choice and compromise on current or historical issues or events.  This team has competed in tournaments in Texas, Illinois, and Ohio to name a few states.

Student voice is a group of students elected by each grade level to help staff and administration understand concerns and improvements that the student body has for AGS.  It was created to give the students more voice in what happened with the context of AGS to make learning as collaborative as possible for staff and students.  2 students from each grade level are elected at the beginning of each year and meet monthly with the AGS teacher leader and grade level team leaders to discuss concerns and improvements for AGS.

The Academy of Global Studies is partnered with an organization called the Greater Cincinnati World Affairs Council (GCWAC) which hosts the Academic World Quest competition each year.  Students from AGS may volunteer to be a part of an academic world quest team to compete the 3rd weekend in January.  The winners of the Cincinnati Regional competition get a paid-expenses trip to Washington D.C. in the spring to participate in the national competition which offers scholarship money to the winners.  Click here for more information on the competition.
