Global Fest, an Upper School-wide international symposium, embodies our AWS mission to cultivate “responsible citizens for a global society” and our IB commitment to international mindedness. The theme for this inaugural year is “Beauty and the Beast: Standards of Beauty and Alternative Aesthetics Across the Globe.” Through student-presented workshops, guest speakers, a makers fair, an international film festival, language labs and more, students and faculty will join together to foster deeper intercultural understanding.
