Global Education
Global Education in our Upper School offers tangible benefits that help drive students’ development and prepares them for the next stage of their education — and of their life. To guide this journey both inside and outside the classroom, we’ve established four Global Education goals:
- Investigate the World: Explore global issues and cultures.
- Appreciate Perspectives: Understand diverse viewpoints.
- Communicate Across Differences: Effectively interact with people from different backgrounds.
- Take Action: Make a positive impact on the world.
In addition to their everyday studies — which include dedicated time for global languages and culture study — students in ninth to 12th grade are given the opportunity to interact directly with the world beyond our campus.
Last year, our Upper School students traveled to Costa Rica, the Galápagos, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, South Korea and Spain on programs geared toward scientific research, immersive language learning, outdoor exploration and collaboration with Chadwick International, our sister campus in South Korea.
In a unique example of multicultural teamwork, Chadwick’s Girls Soccer team combined their talents with those of the Chadwick International soccer team to compete in the 2025 Western Japan Athletic Association Championship in Tokyo. They emerged as undefeated champions in a snow-covered title match.
There are also on-campus multicultural events, a wide variety of local and international service or outreach programs, Model United Nations programs and more. All of our Global Education programs are developed and supervised by Chadwick faculty members, who masterfully connect the classroom experiences to the broader world.
We believe that a well-rounded education includes cultural competence and that it all comes together to show students not only how to live in the world — but how to change it.
