    • Kennedy Center Arts Cohort Badge

      Many Global Learning Academy teachers participated in a Kennedy Center for the Arts Integration in Education 2-day training with guest artist Randy Barron. It was an exciting and enriching time of learning and imagining more ideas to further education for students at GLA!

    • Purple Star CampusFL Purple Star Campus Logo

      The Purple Star School of Distinction Designation, established by the Florida Legislature (House Bill 429) and signed into law in June 2021, recognizes schools that support the unique needs of military families. Florida is committed to being the most military‐friendly state in the nation, and this program helps students as they relocate to new schools due to a parent’s change in duty station.

      In spring 2022, GLA became the first Escambia County Public Elementary School to achieve the Common Sense Media designation, "
      Global Learning Academy has demonstrated its commitment to taking a whole-community approach to preparing its students to think critically and use technology responsibly to learn, create, and participate while preparing them for the perils that exist in the online realm, such as plagiarism, loss of privacy, and cyberbullying. With the right support, kids can take ownership of their digital lives, engage with real issues, and change their communities for the better. The recognition acknowledges our school's commitment to creating a culture of digital citizenship."
