English for Global Leaders

Kielikurssin kuvaus

Overview
English for Global Leaders is a highly dynamic course for students aged 13–17, combining English fluency with global leadership development. This course draws from the International Baccalaureate framework, focusing on global issues, intercultural understanding, and critical thinking.

About the course

Emphasis is placed on developing clear, confident, and effective communication through public speaking, presentation skills, and intercultural dialogue. Inquiry-based learning is encouraged through meaningful investigation and exploration of language, literature, and global perspectives.

Students join small, mixed teams drawn from across the different courses. Together, they apply the knowledge, skills and perspectives developed throughout the Sprint to address real-world challenges. Guided by the three pillars of sustainability; social, environmental and economic, each team explores creative and practical solutions that reflect thoughtful understanding and global awareness.

The experience encourages every student to contribute with confidence, express ideas clearly, and use their English skills in purposeful, collaborative contexts.
