Our Mission
Our mission is to provide online educational training for principals, teachers, students, and parents in order to improve educational outcomes for students from all backgrounds. By making continuing education and professional development more accessible, we aim to equip schools and families with the tools to foster each child’s personal growth and prepare them for entrepreneurial, business, college and career success. In addition, transform 195 schools globally: One school in one town in every country in the world, such that every student feels seen, heard and empowered in their Unique Brilliance. We will do this through Entrepreneurial and Leadership trainings and consultations, delivered by Global Leadership Schools trained Coaches, Consultants, Trainers and Teachers.
What we do
We discover and develop student’s strengths, talents and core competencies both Academically and Linguistically. We create learning environments that encourage both exploration and mastery, with focus on leadership, communication and cooperation skills. We stress the importance of deep knowledge and understanding of subjects and society. The foundation delivers entrepreneurial, action-based trainings with the goal of creating value for the local and global community, as well as ongoing teacher training, follow-ups and routines for collegial learning.
The foundation is politically and religiously unbiased.

The foundation
Our society has changed!
Both society and school systems are under great pressure. The awareness of the importance of education is high but the current methods of organizing learning are not meeting the needs of the majority of students – nor the needs of parents or of the teachers working in current pre-schools and school models. The Driving Force behind Global Leadership Schools is its Commitment to Transform methods and effects of the Educational system. The result will be to ensure and encourage young people to realize their Potential as Entrepreneurs, Leaders, and Learners.
