The School District of Janesville's mission is to actively promote global awareness and understanding; it welcomes international students and faculty; and enriches our community to interact seamlessly in a global society.
We are actively involved in the Global Education Community (GEC).  The GEC has been formed so that every educational community and its members can be provided with the knowledge and opportunities to conduct and learn from authentic opportunities in educational practice.  These opportunities shall be organized collaboratively and globally engaging people educationally with the world and its problems. Educators from around the world are working together to advocate the idea that all children can study and learn together.  In the process children, their parents and their teachers can learn from, and teach each other as they are welcomed into a community where all can become more competent as global citizens.  They will be exposed to artistic, scientific, authentic, and practical resources and interventions – all available to families, schools and other related stakeholders.
