Marshall University College of Education and Human Services

Global Studies at the Model School gives our students the tools to understand the processes of world travel and the need to be citizens of the world. Students are empowered to shape their world as the next generation of global leaders in business, education, government, and the non-profit sector. Together with the Passport to the World after school club Global Studies focus on different countries around the world and visiting their languages, costumes, culture, people and places. Using written work as well as video, and even virtual trips; our students are presented with different ways of life with deep historical, linguistic, ethnic, and religious roots and today's need for transnational cultures and multiple identities, fueled by the communication of ideas and the movement of people all around the world.

Model School Celebrate Global Studies with a Parade of Countries and Cultures:

Students, faculty and staff of the June Harless Center and Kellogg Elementary took time out to showcase the different countries and cultures they have been studying.

Global studies, an intricate part of the 21st Century model had a day of celebration at the Model School. Students shared with each other what they have learned throughout the year. Food, music, and crafts highlighted the event.

Our good friend at Marshall University Lucas Mwakajinga from Tanzania paid a visit to our first grade to talk about life in Tanzania an global connections. At the Model School every grade studies a different country. First grade has Africa. Students during the year explore cultures, languages, religions, the arts of their assigned continent.
