More about Global Citizenship Committee
At Alma Mater, we believe that your culture matters. We have established the Alma Mater Global Citizenship Student Committee to foster an appreciation of diversity and encourage the pursuit of holistic social change. The committee operates within four pillars:
- Peace and Social Justice

Design Thinking
At Alma Mater International School, we embrace design thinking as an approach to problem-solving. Design thinking is an iterative process that challenges assumptions, seeks to understand the user, and identifies alternative strategies and solutions. By applying design thinking, students learn to redefine problems and think creatively to find innovative solutions.

It provides opportunities to build essential skills such as teamwork, communication, leadership, and resilience. Through our wide range of extra-curricular offerings, students can explore their passions, discover new talents, and make lasting connections with their peers.
