Chaminade Global Scholars
We’ve all been in the awards assembly and heard the achievements of those students who are Chaminade Global Scholars, but what exactly does it mean to be a Global Scholar?
Archbishop Moeller High School’s Chaminade Global Scholars Program offers high-achieving students an opportunity to conduct an in-depth study on a global issue. The Chaminade Global Scholars Program seeks to combine a deep knowledge and understanding of the world we live in, with a wisdom and compassion that implores each student to find their calling in response to the world’s many needs.
The Chaminade Global Scholars Program provides a diverse and experiential academic environment that takes education beyond the classroom and immerses the student into the global village. A global scholar is informally translated as an internationally learned person in academic and multidisciplinary matters. The initiative is a platform designed to bring together globally acclaimed institutions and students through educational services, shared communication and future connections. The program is designed to engage students in practical experiences and investigate a wide range of themes and questions in three core areas: awareness of and proposed solutions for global issues, cross-cultural skill-building and an understanding of others, and exposure to global business challenges and investigating best practices for success in a global world.
The Chaminade Global Scholars Program highlights five fundamental characteristics:
◦ Educate for formation in faith;
