Global Thinking Starts at GHCDS!

At Good Hope Country Day School, we’re preparing our students to be confident, curious, and globally minded. Through Cambridge Primary Global Perspectives, our learners develop critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills that help them succeed in school and beyond!

Through engaging, age-appropriate activities, students explore personal, local, and global perspectives, learning to express their own opinions while appreciating different points of view. 

Cambridge Primary Global Perspectives is taught through a series of Challenges - stimulating teaching and learning materials designed to develop key skills meaningfully. Each Challenge follows an active learning approach and is adaptable to meet the needs of our students and our local context.

Each grade level at GHCDS will complete three Challenges per year, each focused on one primary skill, ensuring deep understanding and real-world connections. The Challenges provide opportunities for students to engage with issues that matter to them, from their communities to the global stage. 

Here are some examples of challenges that our Lower divisions will engage in this year:
