It is the mission of AGC to create an environment for healthy, sustainable lifestyles. From serving organic meals and the physical education opportunities we provide, to teaching our students about the importance of environmental sustainability in our outdoor garden, AGC strives to foster an environment where physical and environmental health influences our students' emotional, intellectual, and social development. The Academy for Global Citizenship is committed to serving the whole child through the acquisition of skills and knowledge that can be integrated holistically in mind, body, and spirit.
We serve the whole child by:
- Providing every student with an organic and nutritionally-balanced breakfast, lunch and snack.
- Incorporating gross motor activity everyday through physical education class, movement-based teaching techniques and recess on a daily basis, accounting for 5 hours and 50 minutes of physical activity each week.
- Teaching our students about wellness and nutrition through organic gardening and daily yoga.
- Utilizing an outdoor garden classroom with ample of growing space.
- Integrating the arts into every aspect of the curriculum.
- Fostering a kinship with nature.
- Encouraging students to continuously ask questions and seek answers.
