Global Scholars Program
Program Purpose and Goals
Offered to Upper School students beginning in their sophomore year, the Global Scholars Program is an extension and intensification of Cape Henry's school-wide global focus.
Through seminar discussions, guest speakers and globally-focused curriculum requirements, GSP presents a unique opportunity for students to deepen their knowledge of complex issues around the world and earn a Global Scholar designation on their diploma.
Cape Henry Collegiate was the third independent school in the U.S. to offer a Global Scholars Program, and was highly commended for our school’s international studies program by the teams of representatives for the Virginia Association of Independent Schools and the Southern Association of Independent Schools during their recent accreditation visit.
Global Scholars most definitely provided me with an in-depth understanding of people’s lives around the world, and how different they can be under governments very distinct from ours. With this level of awareness, my choice to participate in Navy ROTC in the hopes of commissioning as an officer upon graduating in four years was solidified. Global Scholars made it clear how lucky we are to live in the United States and attend a school like Cape Henry, and that’s a privilege I want to protect in the service.”
