What is Global Studies?
At the Episcopal School of Baton Rouge, Global Studies is a unique department that includes the interconnected subjects of Social Studies and World Language. Students learn to appreciate the historical, social, political, economic, and cultural world on both a global and local scale. Travel itineraries facilitated by the department further enhance these cross-cultural studies.
