Be Your Best Self from the Head of School BE YOUR BEST SELF FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL Dear Prospective Student, Why Fountain Valley School of Colorado? My answer to this question deepens with each passing year. As a boarding school graduate myself, I experienced firsthand the value and benefits of living and learning with a diverse group of peers in a setting that is inspiring, challenging, and rewarding. Having worked at other boarding and day schools, I can tell you that Fountain Valley School is unique. Nowhere else have I experienced a school that so fully embraces its sense of place. Our stunning setting on 1,100 acres of prairie at the foot of Pikes Peak informs our curriculum and inspires all who live, work, study, and play here. Nowhere else have I known faculty as invested. They are experts in their fields, and have chosen Fountain Valley School and embraced the boarding school lifestyle. Our faculty are here because they are devoted to developing the whole student in their combined roles as teachers, coaches, advisers, and mentors. And they appreciate working and living at this beautiful and inspiring place. And nowhere else have I seen a school as accepting and inclusive, and a community so committed to cheering on those who dare to try something new. Further, Fountain Valley School is truly a global community with students from 15 countries and 23 states. We boast a stellar global education program that has put the School on the map for its innovative curriculum and travel exchange opportunities. Fountain Valley is a special place, and I invite you to come visit and see for yourself. I look forward to meeting you! Best, William V.

  • Developing Students' Global Competence
    Developing students’ global competence: An international research study Introduction Students of the 21st century are now confronted with geopolitical realities never before encountered by preceding generations. Higher rates of migration have resulted in significant demographic shifts across many countries.1 The advancement and proliferation of digital technologies has increased the circulation of information – and disinformation – within and across borders.2 Globalization of labor and supply chains has given way to fierce debates about the advantages and disadvantages of economic interdependence as well as political backlash in the form of protectionist agendas. To navigate this complex globalized world, students need to develop global competence. The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) defines global competence as the ability to “examine local, global and intercultural issues, understand and appreciate different perspectives and worldviews, interact successfully and respectfully with others, and take responsible action toward sustainability and collective well-being.”3 How can schools teach students these multifaceted skills, knowledge, values, and attitudes? More research is needed to address this important question. Dr. Christina Hinton and a team of researchers from Research Schools International (RSI) and Harvard Graduate School of Education carried out an international research study to explore how schools can support students to develop global competence. We collected data from teachers and students in 147 Round Square schools spread across 34 countries on 6 continents to investigate this question. We explored which global competencies students in Round Square schools demonstrate and which learning activities Round Square schools are using to support those competencies. Further, we explored relationships among learning activities and global competency outcomes.
