What is the Inaugural Cohort?
Level Up Village has launched Global Connections, a brand-new and easy-to-use platform with engaging, collaborative courses. For this September, Level Up Village will pair the first 100 registered teachers and their classrooms with teachers and classrooms in another country. This Inaugural Cohort of paired classrooms, for students ages 12-18, will take part in 4- to 8-week global exchanges. The exchanges will be in Spanish and English. Guided by our leveled Languages & Cultures* course content and student-friendly technology, students will make memorable connections with global peers and deepen their understanding of other cultures.
*Arts & Sciences Coming Soon!
