"GLOBAL ACHIEVERS" is for middle and high school students. The students form an import/export company and trade with an international partner.

Technology plays a key role in both Global Achievers programs. Students use e-mail, the Internet, and video conferencing to communicate with their global partners. To learn more about the programs, click on Upper School and Lower School.

Cultural Events and Economic Development

The impact of Global Achievers goes beyond the classroom. Communities are enhanced through international cultural events, establishment of sister city relationships, and increased trade and tourism.

The flagship event of 1999 was the arrival of the Ayrshire Fiddle Orchestra, a 100-student orchestra from Ayr, Scotland. Several hundred Georgia students, parents, and community members hosted the group and enjoyed one of their four performances.

In June, 2001, the East Ayrshire Schools Brass Band and Choir, a 125-member student band and choir, toured and performed in five Georgia cities: Fayetteville, Greensboro, Eastman, Milledgeville and Cochran.

From the first delegation of Georgia business, government and education leaders to visit the UK in 1996, to the arrival of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, in March, 2000, to open a UK-based business in Georgia, opportunities for tourism and trade continue to develop.
