Grow X Global Academy
Grow X Global Academy
Grow X Global Academy is a collaboration between FOX LEARNING CENTER in Daejeon, South Korea and elementary schools in San Diego, U.S.A. Elementary school students from both countries learn about each others’ cultures, work together on STEAM-centered activities, and participate in SEL lessons that foster understanding of self and others from a global perspective.

"Even though we’re pretty different, we can both laugh at the same things and stuff like that."

"I thought I couldn’t talk to foreigners. But after engaging in the SEL program, I learned that we could communicate with each other well if we understand our own emotions/feelings."
Building Global Skills
The Global Academy aims to help students develop into global citizens who are socially aware, resilient, and capable of making significant contributions to the global community. By taking on the challenge of navigating a new culture and working alongside peers in a different country, students can gain confidence in themselves and their ability to break down barriers.
