Social Justice Education
Global Village School provides social justice curriculum to progressive families
Homeschooling is traditionally seen as something that conservative families do. Global Village School is something unique - a social justice education program. Our materials are written from a progressive perspective. In our view social justice curriculum concerns itself with peace, compassion, justice, sustainability, community, integrity, diversity, creativity, and responsibility. We offer a social justice education that encourages the development of thoughtful human beings, and when we explore religion we do it in a non-dogmatic way. We encourage critical thinking and an appreciation of open, pluralistic societies through study and service learning opportunities.
It is from this approach that Global Village courses such as Planetary Stewardship, Literature of Diversity, The History of Civil Rights in the U.S., Peace and Diversity Studies Survey, and Reflections on Peacemaking have emerged.

"Peace and Tolerance is an integral part of the Global Village School‘s philosophy. It is one of the reasons why I chose it for our homeschool provider. Religious, Cultural, Racial, Sexuality...there are important values in these areas I wish to instill in The Spawn. GVS makes that easy."

How our program worksGlobal Village will be the official “school of record,” maintaining student files, providing written evaluations, issuing official transcripts, and providing diplomas upon graduation. We will provide curriculum (regular or customized) and individualized teacher support. Families can also choose to purchase curriculum only, or to work with Global Village teachers on selected courses. Other families may wish to have us develop a customized curriculum for them, and then work with it on their own. Families can also use our learning styles profile, whether or not they wish to enroll.
Global Village families choose between structured text and online curriculum; fully customized curriculum based on their individual interests, needs, and learning styles; or – for those who are already experienced homeschoolers – using their own curriculum. We offer a wide variety of classes, including sustainability curriculum. Core subjects such as English, history, math, and science often contain peace, diversity, and environmental themes. We also offer specialized courses such as The Buddhist Path to Peace, Planetary Stewardship, Reflections on Peacemaking, Peace & Diversity Studies Seminar, Global Spirituality and Activism, and a variety of other classes that address current issues in the world and provide students with role models and examples of peaceful, sustainable social change. GVS teachers assist each student individually and provide feedback, support, and documentation. Students can earn elective credit for many different kinds of life experiences, such as travel, participating in cultural events, performing in community theater productions, pursuing a career in athletics or the film industry, or starting their own business. Global Village youth engage in a wide range of activities for credit, including: studying science at local national parks and wilderness areas, volunteering at botanical gardens, investigating organic farming or learning about herbal medicine. |
