Why Pope Globalization Academy?
Pope’s Globalization Academy provides unique educational experiences at each grade level that differentiates their learning from the traditional high school curriculum. Grade level projects provide opportunities for students to interact with global leaders and experts in international business. Global Connections night, seminars on international issues with Consuls and Embassy personnel, university professors and other internationally focused business people from the Atlanta community allow students to connect their academic work to the real world.
Our students are encouraged to get involved in our vibrant high school community and the Pope culture by participating in extra-curricular activities like fine arts, athletics and the many other clubs and organizations that Pope has to offer.
