Center for Global Leadership

The Center for Global Leadership provides leadership training through character development of Upper School students at Veritas. Leadership studies is a series of courses designed for 7th through 12th graders taught by certified teachers and experts in their field.  

Example modules are:

Self-Assessment Skills: Assessing yourself and others for maximizing workplace effectiveness

People Skills: Developing effective people skills for success

Mentoring Skills: Providing and receiving effective mentoring relationships

Communication Skills: Becoming a highly effective public and personal communicator

Team Skills: Developing key practices for building strong teams

Managing Skills: Developing key practices and skills for managing others

Each student is required to research, write, present and defend two theses: a Junior Thesis consisting of a 20-25 page paper, and a Senior Thesis consisting of a 30-35 page paper, a 10-minute presentation and 10-minute Question-and-Answer session before local graduate-level university professors.

The students will participate in numerous activities that will aid them as emerging leaders, including 80 hours of community service per year (9th-12th grades), internships, etiquette and potentially, studies abroad.
