The DC Center for Global Education and Leadership mobilizes the unique resources of the nation’s capital to help prepare a new generation of DC youth for life and careers in our culturally diverse, globally interconnected 21st century world.

With support from the Longview Foundation, CGEL is currently conducting research for a comprehensive report on the state of K-12 global education in DC public schools (both DCPS and charter) for release in the fall. We are now collecting information from schools, partners, universities, embassies, business, media, parents, and other sources to help us understand and map out all the ways our students and teachers are learning and engaging globally. Please help out by sharing your stories with us.
