Open to New Bedford residents, Global Learning Charter Public School (GLCPS) is a tuition-free public charter school that currently serves 500 students in grades 5-12. In order to generate a culture of personalization, our school setting and class sizes are deliberately small. Students, faculty and administration know each other well, and teachers are able to tailor the curriculum to the needs and level of each student. GLCPS offers an exciting and challenging interdisciplinary curriculum that follows and builds upon the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.
Students learn to work collaboratively in teams, use technology meaningfully in their coursework, strengthen all elements of their communication skills, as well as develop the necessary skills to become engaged and ethical contributors to a global society. We have made it a priority to design a comprehensive academic program that provides the foundation for students to succeed in higher education and the workplace. Working in collaboration with organizations throughout the city of New Bedford and the southcoast region, GLCPS aims to become a true ‘community school.' We capitalize on the exceptional resources of our region (for example, marine sciences) and tie these resources to our curriculum and instruction.
