Every student (returning and new) must complete GLOBE's 2023/24 Student Registration Form by the first day of school, August 9. For instructions on how to complete the form, refer to our email from July 6.

Let us know if your plans change
If your student’s plans to return to GLOBE have changed from “yes” to “no” between now and the start of the 2023/24 school year, please complete this form. Having an accurate count for the school year allows us to plan and budget appropriately and allows a student from our waiting list to fill the open spot.

Look out for further instructions next week regarding Step 2 of the registration process.

Thank you to everyone who completed our uniform policy survey back in the spring. Over the next several months GLOBE will be working to update the policy to reflect your valuable input. The intention is for the new policy to come into effect at the beginning of the 2024/25 school year, to coincide with the opening of GLOBE Elementary.

GLOBE is looking for Spanish LSA Host Families for the year 2023/24. Language Support Assistants (LSA) from China, France, and Spain, are an essential piece of instruction at The GLOBE Academy and we are excited to have the opportunity to continue this wonderful support program. Please reach out to Daphna Malka if you are interested in hosting.

We have had a great time hosting our summer camps. Thank you to all those who attended.

We are currently enrolling students for Before Care and Aftercare for the 2023/24 school year. Please click here for information regarding registration.

The Board of Directors in June elected two new members: Breck Heidlberg and Adrienne McMillon.

Breck, who will co-chair the strategic planning committee, is a former U.S. diplomat and intelligence officer with more than 15 years of experience developing innovative solutions to complex global challenges. He has a robust track record managing strategic initiatives with competing priorities and timelines in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. He is the parent of a second grader on GLOBE’s French track.

Adrienne, who will co-chair the development committee, has extensive expertise in financial and business operations, along with a reputation for building relationships that drive process improvements and meaningful organizational change. As PTO treasurer and fundraising chair at Coralwood, Adrienne led the school’s biggest fundraiser, Run Walk Roll, and at GLOBE, you will find her spearheading GLOBE Trot.

Please join us in welcoming Breck and Adrienne to the board. We are grateful for their service to GLOBE!
