Grades 5-12: Windows on the World (Schedule)

Today's students will be the citizens and leaders of the 21st Century, heirs to a world that grows smaller and more interconnected with each day. Students must have the opportunities to learn about other countries of the world. "Windows on the World" will broaden your students' views of the world and increase their international literacy.

Take a trip through "Windows on the World" as each presenter discusses about his/her particular country. Learn about the geographic location, the landmarks, government, culture, homes, food, and transportation of each country. The worldview of your students will expand as they learn more about different cultures.
