The Global Scholars Diploma is a 3-year program from the Columbus Council on World Affairs and the GLHS Business & Technology Academy. The program develops globally competent high school students by building the awareness and skills needed to take action on a global issue and to become responsible citizens of the world.
Students engage in activities and interact with dynamic speakers as they develop skills in global cultures, global careers and global issues.
The program culminates with a Take Action project in the students’ third year that is meant to demonstrate the abilities that they have cultivated over the course of the first two years. Students choose a globally-oriented issue about which they are passionate, and they pursue a leadership role in solving it at a local level.
Throughout the project, students are in contact with advisors who guide them through the development and execution of their project, and they ultimately present their experiences to their younger peers and the community at the Year-End Showcase, which was held this year in April at Otterbein University.
We are proud and impressed with our GLHS students who participated in the showcase.
