Solebury School
Global Education Concentration
Rising 9th and 10th graders can choose to declare a Global Education Concentration, a program unique to Solebury School that offers a distinctive path to graduation.
The concentration includes the requirements listed below and is designed for students to deeply engage in and reflect upon global academic courses, cultural events, travel immersion experiences, and an independent study. As students work to complete this concentration, they document all of their Global Ed experiences via an online portfolio of their creation.
Solebury School is notably a member of the Global Educators Benchmark Group (GEBG). We believe in GEBG's premise that "the world is an exciting place, and that although divided by time and space, the human race is actually deeply united by its time on earth rather than hopelessly divided by its problems. The discovery of how the world faces its common problems is discovery at the highest levels."
In the Winter Trimester of 2025, Solebury School will host its fifth school-wide Global Education Week.
