- $1.5 million spent. IN THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR, THE GLOBAL VILLAGE PROJECT ENROLLED 45 STUDENTS, ALL OF WHOM ARE GIRLS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 11-17 WHO HAVE RECENTLY ARRIVED IN THE US THROUGH THE REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM AND HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT GAPS IN THEIR FORMAL EDUCATION DUE TO WAR AND CONFLICT. OUR EDUCATIONAL MODEL IS BUILT ON FOUR PILLARS: (1) INTENSIVE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERACY (2) SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ART AND MATH (3) SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND (4) MENTORING AND ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT. WE SAW TREMENDOUS GROWTH AND SUCCESS FOR OUR STUDENTS ACROSS ALL 4 PILLARS. ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACQUISITION IS CORE TO EVERY CLASS AT GVP. BUILDING VOCABULARY, FLUENCY, AND EXPRESSION IS CRITICAL ACROSS ALL SUBJECT MATTERS. IN 2024-2025, OUR STUDENTS ADVANCED AN AVERAGE OF 1.3 LEVELS IN READING, AND 83% OF STUDENTS MET OR EXCEEDED THEIR READING GOAL. IN OUR SCIENCE CURRICULUM, STUDENTS STUDIED SUBJECTS SUCH AS WEATHER CYCLES, HUMAN ANATOMY AND THE ENVIRONMENT. IN MATH, STUDENTS ADVANCED UP TO 3 GRADE LEVELS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR ADVANCING FROM BASIC NUMERACY AND CALCULATIONS TO GEOMETRY AND PRE-ALGEBRA. IN SOCIAL STUDIES STUDENTS STUDIED ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS, LEARNED ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS, AND EXPLORED INTRODUCTORY ECONOMICS. SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING IS A CORE CLASS AT GVP WHERE STUDENTS FOCUS ON GVP'S CORE VALUES OF RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, KINDNESS, APPRECIATION, AND LIFELONG LEARNING. OUR STUDENTS ALSO HAD THE CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN OVER 180 HOURS OF ELECTIVE CLASSES INCLUDING DRAMA, ART, MUSIC, SOCCER, RUNNING AND LEADERSHIP. LEARNING AT GVP EXTENDS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM, AND IN 2024-25, OUR STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN OVER 30 FIELD TRIPS WHERE THEY GOT TO TAKE WHAT THEY LEARNED IN THE CLASSROOM AND APPLY IT TO THE REAL WORLD. STUDENTS VISIT THE WILLIAM CARLOS MUSEUM, THE GEORGIA STATE CAPITOL, THE ATLANTA BOTANICAL GARDENS, ZOO ATLANTA, AMONG MANY OTHERS. STUDENTS ALSO PARTICIPATED IN OVERNIGHT TRIPS TO THE HIKE INN AND CAMP WAHSEGA. OUR STUDENTS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE ALL THAT THEY HAVE BEEN LEARNING WITH OUR COMMUNITY AT SEVERAL EVENTS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR SUCH AS LEARNING GALLERIES AND STUDENT SHOWCASES. THESE EVENTS ALLOW OUR STUDENTS TO REFLECT ON THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND BUILD THEIR PRESENTATION AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS. AT GVP, OUR FAMILIES ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM AND STUDENT SUCCESS. WE HAD ALMOST 10 HOME VISITS AND 400 CALLS TO CREATE STRONG BONDS BETWEEN OUR TEACHERS AND OUR PARENTS AS THEY JOINTLY GUIDE OUR STUDENTS' EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY. WE HOSTED 6 FAMILY ENGAGEMENT EVENTS AT SCHOOL AND IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE PARENTS CAME TO SEE AND SHARE IN THEIR DAUGHTERS' ACCOMPLISHMENTS. WE ALSO DELIVERED 20,000+ POUNDS OF FOOD TO OUR FAMILIES. IN THE SPRING, 14 STUDENTS GRADUATED FROM GVP AND ALL ARE HEADED TO HIGH SCHOOL. EACH GRADUATING STUDENT WAS PAIRED WITH A MENTOR WHO WILL HELP GUIDE AND COUNSEL THEM THROUGH THEIR TRANSITION TO HIGH SCHOOL. OUR MENTOR PROGRAM IS ROBUST WITH OVER 40 MENTORS WHO MEET REGULARLY WITH THEIR MENTEES INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A GROUP TO CONTINUE TO FOSTER A LOVE OF LEARNING, SENSE OF BELONGING, AND A ROBUST COMMUNITY FOR ALL GVP ALUMNI.
