Davidson Day developed a Global Studies Diploma Program that combines rigorous field-based research with our strong international course offerings. The Global Studies Diploma Program offers current and potential students the opportunity to develop a culturally diverse perspective, both through curricular and experiential learning.
The diploma program compartmentalizes several elements that currently exist at Davidson Day with the added enrichment of immersion and research through cohort learning. Students participating in the diploma program conduct research on a topic with international ramifications and demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the connection among those perspectives.
The Global Studies Diploma Program is both demanding and rewarding. Students who complete the requirements for the Global Studies Diploma will be awarded a special diploma from Davidson Day School, in addition to their standard Davidson Day School diploma.
Other benefits will include participation in special programming, such as a lecture and workshop series, epicurean tastings, and travel experiences.
Each Global Studies Diploma cohort will also have a team of advisors to help them along their path to completion to supplement the excellent support already provided by the school.
