Students need to be able to communicate, cooperate
and compete with people all over the world

Learning with the world, not just about it: Building international school partnerships is an important goal of North Carolina in the World. These ongoing relationships link North Carolina middle and high schools with schools in countries of strategic importance to the State. They provide a training ground for working in multi-national teams, something graduates will do in their jobs, no matter their field.
