The focus of AICE Global Perspectives is on developing the ability to think, speak, and write critically about a range of global issues where there is always more than one point of view. Students will become aware of global themes and issues, viewed from personal, local, national and international perspectives, and of the connections between them. This cross-curricular program challenges students to work in groups, to present seminars, to create projects, and to publish essays. Students who sign up for AICE Global Perspectives must be self-motivated and have the ability to establish and meet deadlines. This course is recommended for juniors but is also available to seniors. The course culminates in an external assessment that provides the possibility of college credit.
