Mission Integration
Three ways we live the mission
Every part of the Global Vision Online program is built around three commitments that run from the classroom to the world stage.
Developing Global Leaders
Supported by concentrations, leadership roles, and global experiences that prepare students to lead with character and competence wherever life takes them.
Engaging the Culture
Supported by ethics and world studies, English Corner, virtual clubs, and forums designed to help students think critically and engage the world around them.
Touching the World
Supported by service opportunities, global projects, and potential in-person experiences, giving students a vision for how their education can make a real difference.
Why Global Vision Online
An education that forms the whole student
Everything that makes Global Vision Online distinctive: rigorous academics, strong values, and genuine community, thoughtfully designed for the online classroom.
Personalized Learning Path
Every student begins with a Personalized Learning Path, a plan built around their unique gifts, diploma track, concentrations, and college or career goals.
Accredited Diplomas
Earn an Academic or Advanced Academic diploma accredited through ACSI and the Middle States Association, recognized for college admission across the U.S. and internationally.
Five Concentrations
Go deep in what drives your student: STEM, Health & Medical, Business & Management, Career & Technical Education, or Humanities & Social Sciences.
AP & Dual Enrollment
Challenge your student with Advanced Placement coursework and Grand Canyon University dual enrollment courses, earning real college credit while still in high school.
Internships & Counseling
Internship opportunities support each student's personalized learning path, concentration, and resume, connecting coursework to real-world experience in their field.
Flexible Schedule
Academic support and a structured but flexible rhythm mean students can learn at a pace that works for their family, without sacrificing rigor or community.
Student Support
No student learns alone
Students at Global Vision Online have the opportunity to learn and grow at their own pace. A full team of qualified support personnel is available throughout that process.
Teachers
A certified teacher is assigned to each class to support students through course content, maintain clear communication standards, and uphold academic integrity.
Content-Area Tutors
Subject specialists in Math, English, Science, and more provide focused tutoring beyond core course content. Peer tutors work alongside content experts to offer additional support.
Organizational Coaches
Students who struggle with time management, executive functioning, or study habits are paired with organizational coaches who help them build systems that work.
Faculty Monitors
General academic support across subjects, especially for students new to online learning or those with learning differences. Peer tutors assist under faculty monitor supervision.
College Guidance
One-on-one sessions, group webinars ("Understanding U.S. Colleges," "Scholarships and Financial Aid," "International Applications"), and supporting resources for students pursuing higher education.
Career Guidance
Personalized career counseling using the Personalized Learning Path. Includes a curated list of local universities, vocational programs, and service opportunities in major student home countries.
