Global View & Cultural Awareness

Students of the Albert Einstein Academy will use their language studies to expand their understanding of the world and disparate cultures. Graduates will possess a high level of understanding of other cultures and peoples.

Global and multicultural themes are the springboard for organizing interdisciplinary curriculum, to broaden students’ world views and provide a meaningful lens for learning.

Cordoba Curriculum

Einstein Academy draws on an important historical model for this approach: The golden age of Spanish education occurred during the Middle Ages, when the Moors, Christians, and Jews established strong inter-religious centers of higher education in Cordoba, Granada, and Toledo. 

Language Studies

Einstein students will study Hebrew, Spanish or Arabic for a minimum of four years. A second language may also be taken, choosing from among Hebrew, Spanish, Arabic, Latin or Greek.

Global Partner

Supported by a partnership developing with the Spanish government for the exchange of language teachers and ultimately a student exchange, students can get real world context of a modern society with a rich history of Muslim, Jewish and Christian interaction. These themes are important not only for developing global awareness and cross-cultural skills, but also for creating a supportive school environment grounded in respectful awareness of all students’ beliefs and backgrounds.
