Global Studies DistinctionThe Horace G. Fralin Global Studies Program requires its participants to engage in global travel, required coursework, and group discussions on topics concerning global issues and policy. Once the requirements are met, the graduate will receive a separate certificate in addition to their North Cross diploma, recognizing them as a Global Studies Scholar.
学院设计的全球研究区分为学生提供新的机会,以扩大他们在9455澳门新葡萄娱乐场大厅的教育. 成为世界公民的理念——不仅仅是满足获得高级文凭或提高大学申请的要求——应该成为每个学生的目标. Nonetheless, 以一种明确学校期望的方式组织课程似乎很重要. Because the program emphasizes both academic scholarships and experiences, these two broad categories will each contain half of the qualifications for the diploma. 希望以全球研究学者的身份毕业的学生应在9455澳门新葡萄娱乐场大厅大学的第一年(不迟于大二结束)宣布他们的意图。. 那些不打算在9455澳门新葡萄娱乐场大厅大学学习四年的学生必须见主管修改课程. 寻求文凭的国际学生应与主任一起编写定制的学习课程. Program Requirements1. coursework
Academic coursework featuring core classes such as Introduction to Global Studies, AP World History, AP Comparative Government, AP Human Geography, Environmental Studies, and world language courses 是否会为学生提供达到目标的最大分数,但选修课对于实现该计划的奖学金要素至关重要. Students must earn at least a B in each course that will count toward the diploma. 大多数全球研究学者从全球研究概论和世界语言开始他们为期四年的学习. 十年级的学生可以在学习第二语言的同时选修AP世界史. 十一年级的学生除了学习西班牙语的AP世界语言课程外,还可能学习AP文学, French or Latin. 高年级学生选修AP比较政府、环境研究和AP人文地理等选修课. Once again, there are many paths to fulfilling the requirements, 所以请与全球研究主任预约,制定个性化的计划. 2. On-campus events
校内活动包括研讨会、嘉宾演讲和参加国际之夜.
3. off-campus events
学生必须每年至少参加三次校外活动,以更好地了解他们自己的罗阿诺克社区. Because larger, global communities have settled in Roanoke, students do not have to travel far to immerse themselves in what were once considered distant cultures; they can do so through getting to know the immigrants who have enriched southwest Virginia. Examples of off-campus activities include:
4. international travel
Students must travel internationally for at least two weeks total on a GS-approved trip. We encourage students to choose trips that include home-stays with families, emphasis on service, or focus on language immersion. 想要独立或与家人出国旅行学分的学生必须在旅行开始前获得学分批准. (任何在旅行中违反9455澳门新葡萄娱乐场大厅规则或荣誉守则的学生将不会获得文凭要求的旅行部分的任何学分.) Upon returning to Roanoke, 学生将被要求以在高年级早会上做报告的形式向他们的同龄人传授通过旅行所学到的文化课程. In addition, students will also compose a five-page essay about their experiences. The essay must be richly detailed in examining various cultural contrasts and comparisons. 理想情况下,这篇论文将是在大四的春天完成的一次高潮体验. 5. SUMMER READING
Each year, 全球研究系的教员将评出一本供所有全球研究学者共同阅读的书. The book will help students focus on the theme that has been chosen for the year. At least one seminar will address the summer reading. 此外,学生可以选择由特定教师选择的其他全球研究读物. Examples of themes explored have been Cosmpolitanism, Water, War, and Women. 2020: Global Studies: 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari 2019: Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think by Hans Rosling 2018: The Silk Roads: A New History of the World by Peter Frankopan 2017: The Cosmopolites: The Coming of the Global Citizen by Atossa Araxia Abrahamian 6. GLOBAL STUDIES-RELATED DEHART PROJECT
The Senior Project at North Cross School, renamed in 2010 in honor of retired English teacher Gates DeHart, has been an enduring North Cross tradition for over four decades. Student presentations take place during Morning Assembly before the entire upper school and members of the broader North Cross community. This focused academic research, which may include experiential field work and interaction with experts in the chosen topic, will be codified first in a research paper of at least ten pages. DeHart项目代表了高中课程的顶点,旨在展示 the cumulative education of a North Cross Senior. Successful completion is required for graduation. 7. OPPORTUNITIES TO FLOURISH IN THE GLOBAL STUDIES PROGRAM
• Travelling internationally more than once • Participating in Harvard Model United Nations more than once • Participating in tutoring more than three times per year for multiple years • Hosting an exchange student for the summer or partial year • Working as a Summer Camp Counselor with the China Summer Program •新举措:如果有任何新的想法或学习和经验的机会,请与全球研究主任联系. All initiatives must be approved by the director 超出课程基本期望的学生将有资格因其对课程的承诺和贡献而获得荣誉. 此类别的一名学生可能有机会在毕业典礼上代表全球研究项目发言. |
