International Perspectives in Education
London, England | Summer
With a broad education system spanning primary, secondary, and higher education, London offers a rich setting to explore education in all its forms. Engage in seminar-style discussions on current issues across the education sector in the UK, from early years and school systems through universities and post-secondary institutions. Connect British educational traditions with US models as you visit schools, universities, and key educational sites in London and Oxford. Examine education from an international perspective — exploring system structure, student support, leadership approaches, learner experiences, and policy differences across primary, secondary, and higher education contexts.
