“We are seeking to consolidate and expand on our long-term commitment to creating ‘world ready’ global citizens,” says Eric Lombardi, head of school. “We are committed to sending our students ‘beyond the berm’ that surrounds our campus to other communities; such as Pine Ridge reservation, a school in Ávila, Spain, one of many Fort Worth Sister Cities; or other distant lands.”
During the summer, Fort Worth Country Day offers various excursions to Europe, Australia, South America, and Asia. It also hosts international students during the school year. The Center for International Studies will focus on creating authentic experiences for all K–12 students that foster global competency, fulfill the school’s mission, and expose students to cultural differences.
