On Windward’s Global Program The Global Program The Global Studies course at Windward School is one of the best I have seen for exposing high schoolers to these big ideas and helping them understand the complexity of a world that grows ever smaller. Dr. Greg Anderson, Ph.D UCLA History Department In our experience working with independent schools nation-wide, Windward School is at the forefront of 21st Century skills education with its Global Education program. Ross Wehner Executive Director, World Leadership School I work with schools across the US and abroad, and I can say without hesitation that Windward School is among the very best at getting their students to embrace the global rigors of the 21st century.
