About Us: Program Staff
Each GLA program has a dedicated onsite leadership team with a 10:1 student to staff ratio, in many cases the ratio is even lower. The 10 to 1 ratio ensures that each program offers a safe high-quality experience for all and that every student has a dedicated person to turn to for guidance.
GLA Program Directors are educators who have experience working with teenagers either in the classroom or on experiential learning programs. These educators facilitate rich discussions and reflection sessions which transform the students' experiences into lessons about leadership. The staff does not only challenge students to think critically about world issues, but also build strong friendship through their guidance in all non-classroom related activities. As a role-model, friend and guide, staff help students achieve their best and become better global citizens.
Many of our staff work as teachers at high schools around the world. Former staff members include educators from:
- Castilleja School (California, USA)
- Oakham School (Rutland, UK)
- Oundle School (Peterborough, UK)
- American School in London (London, UK)
- Spence School (NY, USA)
- St. Paul School (New Hampshire, USA)
- Tema International School (Tema, Ghana)
