Admissions
Choosing a school for your child is one of the most meaningful decisions you'll make, and we’re honored that you’re considering the Academy for Global Citizenship.
At AGC, our community is built on curiosity, connection, and a belief that children are capable of extraordinary things when they're truly known and supported.
From our bilingual learning villages to our sustainability-centered campus, AGC is a place where kids don't just prepare for the world—they begin to shape it.
We’d love to welcome you. Here's everything you need to know to get started!
