College Preparatory School for Girls Grades 3-12

Global Scholars Program

In 2014, Holton established the Global Scholar honors designation for students with an interest in global issues and international affairs. Upper School students interested in this program take a specialized global curriculum, including four years of world language study, the Global Issues and Perspectives course, participation in a Holton Junior Journey, and completion of a capstone Senior Project focusing on one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Students who successfully fulfill the following requirements will have this designation noted on their transcripts and will be recognized at Commencement.
