We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I loved Global as a school. I just wished that when we got to High school it felt like an actual high school. I have been attending Global Communications academy since the 2nd grade and there has been ups and downs of people coming in and out but there has always been a good administration team despite the lack in education tactics.
