Middle Schools of Choice
Arbutus Global Middle School
Arbutus is the first school of choice for global education in British Columbia.
The provincial curriculum is enriched in every classroom by linking it to global
education, environmental awareness and social responsibility. Community and provincial
initiatives take place in specific classrooms, such as Science in Action, HASTE,
Global Art Education Project, Community Conversations and participating in web-casts.
School-wide fundraisers are used as vehicles for teaching project management skills,
persuasive writing, marketing strategies, and presentation skills to help students
learn how to make a difference. Student-generated clubs, such as Global Connections
Club, Transportation Team, Recycling Club, Presentation Team, Gardening Club, Animal
Club and Science Club, provide opportunities for students to explore ways that they
can make a difference in the world through promoting sustainability.
It is not enough to teach our students what is going on in the world and why. At
Arbutus Global Middle School, it is our collective mission as educators, parents
and community members to teach our future global citizens HOW and WHY they need
to make a difference locally and globally. At Arbutus, it is our goal to teach students
the skills and strategies they will need to make change happen.
