Citizens of the World Charter Schools - Cincinnati

Our purpose at Citizens of the World Charter Schools (CWC) is to realize human potential by  strengthening the bonds among us and developing true citizens of the world. In this work, we are  guided by our core values of Excellence, Authenticity, Diversity, Community and Change, and our  operating norms that reflect a commitment to personal and professional growth, including  operating as learners, with curiosity, integrity and humility.  

The mission of Citizens of the World Charter Schools is to impact and expand the conversation about  what an excellent education contains, requires and accomplishes. Citizens of the World schools  challenge students to realize their full potential and thrive in a diverse society. We are public schools  open to all, committed to serving diverse communities throughout the U.S. with schools currently in  Los Angeles and Kansas City. We develop sophisticated thinkers who master content and have a  courageous and compassionate sense of responsibility for themselves and others. Our schools are in  strong demand. Our classrooms are challenging – and joyful – learning environments that engage  children through fun projects tailored to their personal experiences, strengths and needs. Our  teachers take the time to get to know each child as an individual. We empower children to think  critically and learn to engage respectfully and productively with fellow students by developing their  capacity to enter into and understand the lives of others. Our goal is for student “success” to  include mastery of both content and emotions, so that students can meaningfully connect with  each other, be part of any community, and courageously decide who they are in the world and  how they want the world to be.
