us as a group. We now have schools in 10 countries and are looking forward to working with our new
colleagues in Cyprus.
“Our conversations with the management team of PASCAL Education quickly highlighted many shared
values and goals, and I believe this will be a dynamic and important step in the future growth of both
organisations. Schools in Globeducate specialise in a variety of highly respected international curricula
including the English National Curriculum and International Baccalaureate, as well as national curriculafor Canada, France, India, Italy, Malaysia, Portugal and Spain, and our students achieve high grades andgo on to higher education programmes at 25 of the world´s top 50 universities.”

a very positive development that will guarantee the growth of our organisation in Cyprus, modernising
our structures and practices, bringing in new expertise and know-how, and upgrading our services.
“Being a member of Globeducate will bring many benefits to our schools – for our students and
teachers; notably the wide range of international student events organised by Globeducate, including
Model United Nations, Academic Olympics, International Music Festival, Olympic Games, Student
Leadership Conference, and a Visual Arts Festival.
“Our teachers will benefit from being able to join international learning communities focusing on
Outdoor Learning, Reading and STEAM education, and Sustainability, who meet regularly online and
sometimes in person. This gives the scope to share and learn from best practice within the group.”

technologies that have not yet been invented, and to solve problems that have not yet been anticipated.
A crucial part of providing an excellent education, Globeducate teachers inspire our students to find
their voice in this world. They encourage them to understand world events and to think about their
values and what is important to them, and to challenge ignorance and intolerance wherever they find it.
