Globally competent students are able to perform the following four competences:
- INVESTIGATE THE WORLD BEYOND THEIR IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT, framing significant problems and conducting well-crafted and age-appropriate research.
- RECOGNIZE PERSPECTIVES, OTHERS' AND THEIR OWN, articulating and explaining such perspectives thoughtfully and respectfully.
- COMMUNICATE IDEAS EFFECTIVELY WITH DIVERSE AUDIENCES, bridging geographic, linguistic, ideological, and cultural barriers.
- TAKE ACTION TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS, viewing themselves as players in the world and participating reflectively.
