Thanks for visiting Memminger School Of Global Studies (MSGS): A University Partnership
Our Educational Objectives
Memminger School of Global Studies’s primary educational objectives for its students include:
1. Core Academic Skills.
MSGS students will graduate with exceptional academic skills. Reading, the portal to virtually all learning, will be the most important subject on which MSGS focuses. Writing well will be emphasized, as students who possess this skill will have a growing competitive advantage. Finally, one cannot navigate modern life without strong numeracy.
2. Global Readiness.
The concept of a “school without walls” was carefully chosen. MSGS will prepare students for life in a world with continuously fading borders. Components include a foreign language program of study; completion of a global studies program, a combination of history, geography and world issues that spirals throughout all years of MSGS (with some coursework taken on a local college campus); and the opportunity to participate in a global-focused internships.
My name is Dr. Teresa Turner and I'm the proud principal of Memminger
School of Global Studies. We are happy you have stopped by our page.
Although we are temporarily located in North Charleston on the old
Brentwood campus we are looking forward to returning to our Beufain
location across from the College of Charleston. Our Global School will
be a showcase for CCSD and the downtown community. We are a "school
without walls" and have planned some innovative programming for our
current and future students. Our inquiry based magnet program encourages
students to make real-world connections between Common Core Standards
and the world around them. We have a world-class 3 year old program that
is a partnership with the College of Charleston and boast of some of
the finest teachers in Charleston County. Interested in learning more
about our global studies program? Please call or email me. I'll be glad
to share more or invite you in for a tour.
