I loved the amount of diversity in the school. I've seen many people or different cultures and religions and really appreciate that. They are also very friendly and welcoming.

Global Concepts is a pretty good school, the only thing I would say is that it is not very challenging. It does not offer AP classes and college classes outside of the school. I had a fun experience there. Learned different things about people and enjoyed myself. I wish I was able to enjoy my senior year but it was cut short due to COVID-19 but it still a chapter in my life that I'll never forget.
