( Global Studies Focus)

                    The global studies strand will be threaded throughout the academic, exploratory and enrichment curriculum.  Integrated thematic units will supplement this additional academic program and include cultures, environments, and economies.  An emphasis on the appreciation of the cultural diversity represented in these studies will provide a core focus.  Various nationalities represented by students attending Ridgeview Global Studies Academy will serve as local contacts for direct information regarding those countries.  Students will have the opportunity to serve as Student Ambassadors to welcome and inform guests about Ridgeview Global Studies Academy.
