Overview

Together with Harvard University’s Project Zero, DCPS launched the Global Studies Schools.  Global Studies Schools connect their content and teaching to global issues and use the local cultural capital of our city – DC’s diversity, cultural life, neighborhood identities, cultural institutions, NGOs and international presence – to cultivate students’ global competence, opening their minds and engagement with the world while also deepening their sense of belonging to the nation’s capital.
