Our first partnership was with North Carolina School of Science and Maths in Durham, NC,
USA. From this moment, the benefit of GU was recognised by the school leadership and has
since grown to now have 12 GU partners in 8
countries. Our GU classes are offered English, German and Japanese.
02
Provide opportunities for studying abroad
Students from all grades in the junior high and senior high school can join a GU programme.
This means that nearly 25% of the student body can benefit from Global
Understanding every academic year. Our links are not only virtual, and we have study abroad
opportunities with our GU partners.
03
Cultivate cross-cultural understanding and
communication skills
Over a number of weeks in a 40-to-60-minute class, the students share and discuss a wide
range of topics and themes to build their intercultural understanding and communication
skills.
Some of the topics we discuss are: Our school, Food,
Festivals, The Internet, Popular brands.
04
Collaboratively research, share, and create
products
We also have special PBL based links on the UN
Sustainable Development Goals with UCIS, Thailand and art with Krosno School of Art and
Design, Poland. During these links, students collaborate with their partners to
research, share and create a product.
