Academy and Baldwin County Schools to Develop International Programs
Baldwin County Public Schools (BCPS) Superintendent Faron Hollinger and Academy President and CEO Dr. Thomas P. Rosandich have signed a protocol to jointly develop international-relations and cultural-exchange programs in the schools. With Fairhope and Daphne high schools set to deliver the International Baccalaureate Program beginning in August, BCPS is seeking avenues for cultivating in its students an interest in all countries, cultures and customs. The Academy and BCPS will immediately begin work on a program to teach an Olympic values program, the universal values championed by the Olympic Movement, in local schools. Olympic values are designed to promote cultural exchange and understanding among nations participating in Olympic sports. An online course on the Olympic values has been designed by the Academy, in conjunction with the International Olympic Committee, and will be piloted by BCPS at no cost.
