Under the Same Sun
Last Session June 14th 5:30pm
The International Program runs the Under the Same Sun Program every Monday (September to June) at A.R. Kaufman from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. This program seeks to help children (6-12yrs) explore the world and addresses topics like acceptance, diversity, fair trade, and culture. Each class learns about a topic, engages in discussion and completes an activity to enhance their global understanding. We strive to inspire the understanding that even at 6 years old, you can make a significant difference in our local community and abroad.
Interested in helping your group of children understand local and global issues?
Contact the International Programs Specialist who would be happy to schedule a visit, share our resources or support the creation of specialized programming.
