Developing global citizens.
Evidence real-world learning.

International school leaders need clear evidence that students are developing critical thinking, communication and global awareness, alongside strong academic outcomes.

The Day helps students build these essential skills through engaging daily global news stories in three different reading levels.

Our new, time-saving assessment tools track engagement, reading proficiency, critical thinking and real-world knowledge. 

“We have a crisis of pupil engagement - and it’s hurting literacy”Prof. Jessie Ricketts, Royal Holloway College.

“From sparking discussions on current global events to enhancing reading comprehension through insightful articles, it keeps our school community aware of global issues while fostering critical analysis and thoughtful discourse.”

Abmi Handayani, Librarian, International School Almere
