At Global Village Project, we’ve built a unique and innovative school for refugee young women - a group of students whose education is being interrupted on a global scale.
Our academic program is
specialized, strengths-based, and focused on the whole student because we know that every young woman who comes to our school has unique abilities and experiences to add to her learning community. The goal of our curriculum is to equip these refugee newcomers with the academic and social skills they need to succeed in high school and beyond.
Each year, GVP enrolls 40-50 young women in our academic program, with an additional and growing group of 99 alumnae and students being served by our mentoring program. Students come from more than 12 different countries, including Congo, Rwanda, Afghanistan, Burma and Syria, and collectively speak more than 16 languages. Our students range in age from 11 to 18 and enter GVP with academic skills between a kindergarten and first-grade level.
