PACE ACADEMY INC

Isdell center for global leadership - in 2014, pace academy launched the isdell center for global leadership (icgl), a collaborative, cross-divisional program that supports a well-rounded global education for every pace student. The icgl takes the building blocks of the five-course curriculum and gives students in the lower, middle and upper schools the opportunity to apply their knowledge in ways that enable them to become ethical, empathetic, innovative, culturally competent and adaptable citizens of the world. From the time a student enters pace's doors until graduation, all educational experiences are viewed through an overarching global lens. The icgl fosters this culture of global learning and leadership by exploring an annual, school-wide global theme. Curricular, co-curricular and hands-on activities, a scholar-in-residence program, leadership fellowships, internships and study tours support education around these themes. In a typical year, the icgl study tours consist of approximately 20 trips, with approximately 225 students and 50 faculty/staff travling to countries throughout the world, including south america, europe, africa, asia and australia.
