Wikipedia defines Global Citizenship as the idea that all people have rights and civic responsibilities that come with being a member of the world, with whole-world philosophy and sensibilities, rather than as a citizen of a particular nation or place.
At New York Academy, we have made Global Citizenship one of our School-Wide Learning Outcomes. We see Global Citizenship as a learning value, which we connect to the knowledge, understandings, and skills we learn across all subject areas.
