DIGITAL AND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
We believe that responsible citizenship extends beyond the classroom and into the digital world and the global community. Our approach helps students understand how to interact safely, respectfully, and thoughtfully in an increasingly connected world.
BUILDING RESPONSIBLE DIGITAL AND GLOBAL CITIZENS
Digital and global citizenship concepts are woven throughout daily learning. Teachers intentionally build lessons that develop curiosity about other cultures, strengthen communication skills, and support responsible online behavior. Students learn how to collaborate, think critically, evaluate information, and engage with diverse perspectives as part of their regular academic experience.
In addition to year-round learning, ACA hosts two dedicated weeks each year that allow students to explore these themes more deeply.
Digital Citizenship Week focuses on online safety, ethical technology use, privacy awareness, media literacy, and understanding the impact of digital footprints. Students learn how to navigate digital spaces responsibly and develop the skills needed to participate safely and positively in online communities.
Global Citizenship Week encourages students to learn about cultures, traditions, and global issues from around the world.
PREPARING STUDENTS FOR
A GLOBAL FUTURE
Classroom activities, collaborative projects, and cultural learning experiences help students develop empathy, open-mindedness, and respect for different perspectives.
ACA also hosts an annual AI Day in conjunction with other SAMA Schools, offering students hands-on opportunities to explore age-appropriate artificial intelligence tools. Through guided activities, they learn how AI works, how it influences today’s world, and how to use it responsibly and creatively.
Together, these initiatives help students build the knowledge, values, and digital literacy skills required to thrive in a global society.
By teaching students how to act responsibly, think globally, and engage thoughtfully with technology, ACA prepares them to contribute meaningfully to their communities, both online and in the world around them.
