Global Network
-
Jeffreys Grove Elementary is a member of the NC Global Schools Network. As a global school, we strive to infuse global connections, activities, and projects into the curriculum in as many creative and exciting ways as possible. Students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade also study the Spanish language.
Utilizing 21st century skills, we are working to develop our students as global citizens capable of situating themselves in a smaller world. Students learn to communicate, compete and collaborate through their studies of world cultures, traditions, and languages. They develop cultural self-awareness, and perspective taking. Students think globally and act locally.
Since 2012, Jeffreys Grove has offered the Splash! Spanish Immersion program, beginning in Kindergarten. Native English speaking students will receive all academic instruction in Spanish, taught by a native Spanish-speaking teacher and teacher assistant.
