The most profound impact of World Savvy’s programs is evidenced by educator and student engagement - our programs make teaching and learning real, experiential, and relevant for a changing world.

Our work empowers educators to make school inclusive, relevant, and engaging for all students, inspiring them to learn, work, and thrive as responsible global citizens.

World Savvy students graduate:

  • Equipped to collaborate and cooperate as active citizens in more diverse, local communities.
  • Prepared as problem solvers, poised to address future local and global challenges that are increasingly interconnected and interdependent.
  • With the knowledge and skills necessary for future jobs in a global economy.
