Mission Statement

The Mission of The School for Ethics and Global Leadership is to provide intellectually motivated high school juniors who represent the diversity of the United States with the best possible opportunity to shape themselves into ethical leaders who create positive change in our world.

America needs a new kind of leader. It needs leaders who are literate in the critical challenges facing our world.  It needs leaders who can navigate with integrity the ambiguities of modern business, law, medicine, domestic politics, and international relations.  It needs thoughtful activists, passionate social entrepreneurs, and relentless humanitarians.

If we show a talented, motivated cohort of young Americans how to be this kind of leader, that group will create currents of hopeful, infectious, and powerful change throughout the world.

The best time for this sort of inspiration is the junior year of high school: the critical moment just as young people are gaining the ability to think seriously about complex ideas. If we catch promising students at this moment and challenge them with new information, new questions, and new possibilities, we can help motivate these young people to change the world.
