As a leader in intercultural education, AFS-USA is committed to fostering global competency skills in our schools and communities.  

In alignment with the US Department of Education’s International Strategy, our intercultural learning and global citizenship classroom resources along with opportunities for educational travel offer two unique ways to weave global competence concepts into your everyday work as an educator.

Vision Statement: Any student or educator can become a global citizen when schools partner with AFS-USA.

Announcements

AFS-USA has two distinct awards, the AFS-USA Global Educator of the Year and the AFS-USA Global School of the Year. These awards celebrate both individual educators and schools or districts that have made global engagement and intercultural learning a part of their everyday instruction and school environment. We hope to showcase an educator and school every year that will inspire others to weave culture and global thinking into their learning environments.

AFS-USA believes that we must all work together to create global citizens. Educators and schools are great partners in helping our next generation achieve global and intercultural competence. To that end, celebrating those educators and schools who are going above and beyond in their classrooms and buildings is important.
