Overview
Mission
Culture Academy's mission is to solve the world's most pressing global problems by enhancing the global competency and civic engagement levels of underrepresented high school and undergraduate American students. We do so by providing virtual and experiential learning opportunities that promote intercultural dialogue and the opportunity to work with and learn from various stakeholders, including teachers and professionals from international organizations. Our main goal is to promote the long-term development of global competence amongst high school and college students in the United States, as American students rank low in global competence compared to the rest of the world.
