What can Global Village School offer Unitarian Universalist Homeschool Families?

How can Unitarian Universalist (UU) families provide their children with an education aligned with UU values? Global Village School can help.

Founded in 1999, the creation of Global Village School was fueled by deep concerns about violence, discrimination, and the state of the planet, along with a compelling vision of a better world. We are an international K-12 homeschool diploma program that empowers students to cultivate their gifts and passions by engaging them in a creative, flexible education process grounded in the principles of peace, justice, diversity, and sustainability. We partner with schools, groups, and individual families to provide the kind of education that prepares students to be wise and capable stewards of the planet and each other.

UU families are welcome to enroll their children in Global Village School. Global Village will be the official “school of record,” maintaining student files, providing written evaluations, issuing official transcripts, and providing diplomas upon graduation. We will provide curriculum (regular or customized) and individualized teacher support. Families can also choose to purchase curriculum only, or to work with Global Village teachers on selected courses. Other families may wish to have us develop a customized curriculum for them, and then work with it on their own. Families can also use our learning styles profile, whether or not they wish to enroll.

Global Village School (GVS) and Unitarian Universalists share the same values and principles:

Our values include peace, compassion, justice, sustainability, community, integrity, appreciation of diversity, caring for the Earth and our fellow beings, creativity, and living an authentic and meaningful life.

Like UU’s, we believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person, we have deep respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part, and we have the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all. We believe that each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life.

It is from these values and beliefs that Global Village courses such as Planetary Stewardship, Literature of Diversity, The History of Civil Rights in the U.S., International Human Rights, and Reflections on Peacemaking have emerged.
