The students that volunteer their time and knowledge on Reach a Student are eligible to receive community service hours. We are looking to expand our roster of academic and athletic mentors, interviewers, and video editors to help inspire and answer school-related questions. Join Us!
What Is Reach a Student?
Reach a Student is a website established to give students direct communication access to student mentors in various grade levels. Students will be able to reach out to other students and ask any questions they have regarding student and campus life. The site will also stream videos of students sharing their experiences at Windermere Prep as well as activities around campus. Find Out More
Nord Anglia Education will
be providing Windermere Prep student with access to their program known as The
Global Classroom. This program offers
students the opportunity to connect with other students from the other 40 Nord
Anglia schools spread around the world.
Global Classroom will
allow our students to experience diverse perspectives, new challenging
concepts, topics and ways of learning.They accomplish this by using 3 methods:
An Online Learning Environment
Students can connect with
students in other schools, debate with them and learn new concepts and
ideas. As Mr. Fitzmaurice described, a
student who was studying the effects of pollution on plants in China, could connect
with a student at one of the Nord Anglia schools in China and get a perspective
that you wouldn't find in a book.
In-School Activities
Students are challenged in
competitions to find new solutions to current problems that plague our planet.
Face-to-Face Events
These events bring Nord
Anglia students from across the globe to work on community service projects,
develop leadership skills towards instilling a sense of global citizenship.
I feel strong that
bringing Global Classroom to WPS will allow us to learn and experience new
topics and expand our global view. This
year Global Classroom offered an opportunity to students to travel to Tanzania
in Africa where they could volunteer to help the people there and have other
unique experiences.
As a student, I am really
excited to use The Global Classroom this upcoming year.
