British School Opens in New York

Categories: Classes

A private school modeling the traditional Briish educational system and curriculum recently opened in New York City.

The article can be found here.

What's interesting (and relevant to recent discussions in 110), are the headmaster's comments that one of the goals of the school is to create "citizens of the world." How does that compare with the mission of schools to transmit culture? Is there a "world culture"? What does it mean to be a "citizen of the world?"
