Global Town School Program –
A Holistic Learning Experience

Global Town School's online program is designed to help students grow both academically and personally beyond their imagination. Our personalized, flexible, and innovative approach enables students to pursue their outside interests and passions without sacrificing the quality of their education.

Entirely Personalized Learning

At GTS, students can choose from 100s of classes, study them at their own pace, access college courses, go deeper in areas of interests, conduct independent studies, and enjoy multidisciplinary coursework created just for them.

Additionally, we prepare interested students for national and international competitions and Olympiads in various disciplines. Our rich academic experiencealso includes participation in academic in-person oriented and online workshops and camps at college campuses. At GTS, no two students have the same learning experience.

We offer accelerated learning opportunities for gifted and talented students and International Baccalaureate programs.

Flexibility that you need

GTS provides a high level of flexibility without sacrificing the quality of learning students deserve. Today’s students are engaged in many invaluable experiences outside the school such as sports, music, performance art, business, media, activism, and hobbies. Schooling should not limit students’ ability to maximize such authentic learning and growth opportunities.

Furthermore, students should not sacrifice the quality of education to get involved in such opportunities. Global Town offers a rigorous, high-quality, college preparatory learning experience in the most flexible way possible.

Learning bolstered by VR

Our use of virtual reality technology takes learning to the next level, creating immersive experiences that bring subjects to life and allow students to explore, experiment, and discover in ways that were previously impossible. This creates a truly unique learning environment that is both stimulating and enjoyable for students.

We also create invaluable immersive social interaction and collaboration opportunities for our students. Utilizing our virtual campus, students and teachers come together, collaborate, interact with each other, and create experiences that are not possible in a physical school building or a conventional online school. These experiences include, but are not limited to dissecting large animals, traveling to different sites, exploring 3D objects, and practicing immersive language, and interacting with historical figures.

Comprehensive coaching

At GTS, we recognize that a student's personal growth is just as important as their academic development. That's why our comprehensive coaching program supports students in all areas of their lives, including social and emotional skills, leadership qualities, soft-skills, and a lifelong love of learning.

Every GTS student has a success coach, who has a proven track record in working with middle and high school students. Working with their success coach, GTS students schedule their coursework, set up short and long-term goals, develop the necessary mindset and organizational skills to succeed in the 21st century. Success coaches help GTS students overcome any challenges, reach their full potential, and connect with resources they need to attain their goals.

Global Town School utilizes award winning technologies that combine learning science, AI, and neuroscience to instantly identify and plug gaps in learning by recommending targeted content, while reducing students’ overall workload. The learning tools we employ pinpoints and address misconceptions and created constantly adapting path with learning content tailored to each student.
