Our school, San Jose Episcopal Day School (www.sjeds.com) , is a small school (about 420 students) in Jacksonville, Florida with big plans to implement a global curriculum. It is our goal to broaden our students’ horizon and educate globally aware citizens. As part of a feasibility grant, the school is able to send two faculty members to travel abroad. We are planning to take our students “along” through technology.
