Porter Ridge High School – Global Experience - Honors

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course is designed to prepare high school students to engage in an analysis of cultural issues as they develop a broader global awareness. The purpose is to enable students to achieve personal and professional success and is intended to serve students participating in travel-abroad programs. This is an interdisciplinary course intended to help students synthesize experiences and information from many disciplines into an understanding of the world, its peoples and the challenges of the future. Global Experience students will also develop their written and oral communication skills and creativity through a myriad of online collaborative tools. In the event that Global Experience credit is to be awarded for completion of a program outside of the school setting, prior approval must be obtained. Documentation must be provided after the experience showing that approximately 135 hours of seat time occurred and that curriculum standards have been met.
