Global Citizen Diploma - NIST INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL in Bangkok, Thailand

NIST is a member of a nine-school consortium who offer the Global Citizen Diploma (GCD). The GCD provides students with a credential that highlights the qualities of global citizenship, as well as the opportunity to describe their whole education qualitatively through reflection on their learning experiences.

The GCD is a diploma programme designed to complement the rigor of NIST’s Learning Programme by recognising a student’s comprehensive educational experience—learning that has taken place inside the classroom, within the larger context of school and in the world beyond.

The GCD at NIST provides students with a metacognitive framework to internalise and synthesise these unique and varied experiences in order to enhance self and global awareness. This programme supports students’ potential to contribute globally through deeper connections with divergent contexts and through the development of passions, talents, and skills that elevate the human condition.

The NIST Experience

The elements of the GCD celebrates the experiences and components provided at NIST as part of our identity. The program adds another layer of depth that enhances those experiences as it encourages students to metacognitively reflect on thinking and change as part of the process.
