School for Global Leaders is a nurturing and academically challenging learning environment for all. Alongside families, community members and international organizations, our students engage in authentic, relevant and rigorous interdisciplinary learning opportunities that help them evolve into open minded, reflective, and joyful life-long learners. With a strong foundation in intercultural understanding, compassion, and respect, Global Leaders advocate for change and promote peace in the world.
Message from Principal Ricks
Dear Global Leaders Families,
This week, we reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a champion of equality, justice, and community. At Global Leaders, we honor his teachings by striving to create a school where every student is empowered to lead with empathy, courage, and purpose. Let us all take inspiration from his vision and work together to build a brighter future for our children.
As we celebrate Dr. King’s legacy, I want to emphasize the vital role parents and families play in their child’s education. Research shows that students perform better academically and socially when families are actively engaged in their learning journey. Whether it’s helping with homework, attending school events, or simply having meaningful conversations about school at home, your involvement makes a significant difference.
Here are a few ways to stay connected:
- Parent Coffee & Tea: Join us in the library this Thursday at 8am to connect with other families and staff.
- Awards Ceremony: This Thursday at 9am help us celebrate student achievements and show your child that you value their hard work.
- Parent Workshops & Events: Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to engage with our school community and support your child’s success.
Thank you for being an essential part of the Global Leaders family. Together, we can help every student thrive and grow into the leaders our world needs.
With gratitude,
Keri Ricks
Principal
