Please recall our working self-definition: "One World will be a model secondary school, comprising separate boys', girls', and upper schools, preparing students for higher education via an American Baccalaureate Certificate programme." All students pursuing this certificate will be required to participate in a program of creativity, action, and service for a set minimum of hours during their last two years of secondary school. A special characteristic of the United World Colleges is an emphasis on community service among these options, while not neglecting creativity or other forms of student activity (such as the physical). One World expects its students to exceed these CAS standards, particularly in regard to service.
Every member of the One World community is expected to participate in and support our extracurricular program, with its emphasis on community service. We will annually survey the One World community so as to continually reevaluate and make sure that the program meets the needs and desires of our students, to the greatest extent possible.
Student and Community Life
Creativity, Action, Service
Learning to Live Responsibly
Conceived as an international school available to everyone, One World intends to recruit a diverse student body and faculty. An important means of creating a common school culture will be ensuring that relationships among the school's management, staff, and students are ethical and are characterized by fairness and mutual respect between individuals and among groups of various cultural, linguistic, and national backgrounds. Our boys and girls will acquire these habits, which may be new to them, in their first year in our school through their small advisory classes, which will enable each of them to become known and loved by a faculty member specifically charged with their pastoral care.
