Global Studies

We aim to help students understand and recognize their responsibilities as global citizens.  

Dexter Southfield is committed to equipping students to engage thoughtfully and ethically in a rapidly evolving global community. By emphasizing the importance of interconnectedness, students are encouraged to appreciate their role in a global system and make informed, compassionate decisions that create positive change wherever their life journey takes them.

A key component of Dexter Southfield's vision for global citizenship is the development of empathy, critical thinking, and collaboration across cultures. Students learn to understand that their actions are part of a larger system of individuals and communities, and they strive to address social and environmental challenges with a heightened awareness of their impact on others. To cultivate these values, Dexter Southfield offers a curriculum that includes world languages, cultural studies, prominent speakers, visiting artists, and experiential travel opportunities.
