About 6 years ago, four Jenks teachers came together to emphasize the study of international culture for Jenks High School students. Once accepted to the program, the students spend their junior and senior years participating in events, classes, and extracurricular activities that revolve around global studies. Each cohort is split into two advisories, which are considered the ISP “class” where they take in most of their direct curriculum. 

Colorful trifolds that tell stories of generations, games from all over the world, kids opening their eyes and their minds to cultures they had never been exposed to. In the early October air, you can hear the laughter and awe coming from the kids as they go from region to region, gaining a more cross-cultural understanding.

For an evening filled with vibrant colors, sounds, and displays from around the globe, Jenks students, families, and community members are welcome to join The International Scholars Program (ISP) for their annual Global Village hosted at Jenks Intermediate School. The event takes place on October 10th and celebrates the diversity of the student body and the rich cultural heritages they bring to the school by means of a walk around and hands-on experience.
