Learning in the World

University School’s global programs promote our mission to lead and serve. Through observation and participation with diverse communities, students develop cultural competence and build mutual understanding. These experiences broaden perspectives and foster emotional growth. Students gain confidence as they take steps toward becoming active citizens who give back to our community and beyond.

Learning beyond the walls of University School is an integral part of the curriculum. Few experiences can better stretch and challenge our students to understand themselves and their world than to become immersed in different cultures. Our program offers an array of carefully chosen experiences of varying length and purpose.

The goals are to:

Develop greater cultural intelligence and positive attitudes in students to help them become global citizens,
Give each boy the confidence to be in charge of his own journey,
Stretch students beyond their immediate horizons,
Connect students with the world so they can contribute to developing regions through study, service, and learning.

Thank you for the hard work in making this trip possible. A small taste of Chinese culture in the USA is a start to hopefully a lifelong love of discovering other cultures all within and well represented in America, perhaps encouraging further travel around the world.
