Join us at GCE for a prospective student day! At most schools, these days are known as shadow days, but at GCE, you’ll be in the spotlight, participating in class, group work, and truly experiencing the learning. Our spotlight days will run from 8:45am-12:30pm and include lunch.
The next available dates for spotlight days are Thursday, November 15; Monday, November 19; and Thursday, December 13.
If you would like to attend, you can fill out the form here to get started!
Join us on Wednesday, September 12 to meet the new Head of School, Cabell King!
Meet Cabell and network with educators as we celebrate a new school year, talk education leadership, and share our ambitions for our community.
At GCE, students learn in a totally unique, project-based environment that allows them to truly experience the learning. What does that look like, you ask? We’re hosting you this fall to find out by immersing yourself in the global citizenship experience.

Join us for breakfast as we welcome our field experience (FE) partners to express our appreciation for the awesome opportunities they give our students. FEs, field trips on steroids that emphasize our city as a classroom model, are part of what makes GCE special, and we want to thank you for participating! We’ll be serving breakfast, hearing from students about their favorite FEs, and discovering the network of inspiring partners across the city.
Breakfast starts at 7:30am, and a short presentation will begin at 8am.
