A Curriculum for Future Statesmen
Social Studies
Journey through the tapestry of human civilization, examining how historical movements, cultural traditions, and political systems shape today's global landscape. Students analyze primary sources and contemporary case studies to understand the complex interplay between nations, developing the cultural fluency needed for effective diplomacy. Our approach connects past to present, helping young scholars appreciate both the roots and relevance of international relations.
Language Arts
Master the art of persuasive communication through structured debate, analytical reading, and formal composition. Students engage in literary and cultural explorations, weaving creative expression with global perspectives through curated texts and inspired speaking and writing opportunities. From crafting policy statements to analyzing great speeches, our program cultivates eloquence, cultural fluency, and critical thinking - essential skills for any aspiring delegate.
Science
Students master core scientific concepts while seeing how they shape international decision-making. Investigate how science intersects with global policy and humanitarian challenges, understanding STEM principles and how they inform international decision-making. This multidimensional approach reveals science not just as facts to memorize, but as vital tools for addressing real-world issues on the global stage.
Math
Develop strong math skills seamlessly integrated into real-world diplomatic contexts, from economic modeling to statistical analysis of global trends. Students apply math skills and quantitative reasoning to international frameworks, examining demographic data, trade patterns, and resource allocation. This ensures mathematical proficiency serves both academic rigor and practical leadership purposes in policy formation and negotiation scenarios.
