Global Partnerships

As part of our commitment to fostering intercultural learning, Providence Day School became a Global Member of Round Square in 2016 and stands as the only school member in the state of North Carolina. Inspired in 1966 by the educational concepts of Kurt Hahn, a German educator and a key figure in the development of experiential education (including Outward Bound), Round Square is an internationally diverse network of 250+ like-minded schools in 50 countries on six continents.

Member schools share a commitment to character education and experiential learning through our shared IDEALS – International Understanding, Democracy, Environmental Stewardship, Adventure, Leadership, and Service. Through Round Square, Providence Day School students have the opportunity to attend international conferences, volunteer projects, and student exchanges around the world.

As leaders in the field of international education, Providence Day School also is a member of the Institute for Global Learning and Global Connections.
