One World in Action

In a world often divided by borders, languages, and ideologies, there are moments that remind us of our shared humanity. On June 22, 2024, One World together with the Denzel Washington School of the Arts in Mount Vernon, NY, hosted a remarkable event—a celebration of human connectedness, peace, and abundance through the arts. Students, educators, and One World’s global community came together to witness a kaleidoscope of creativity, bridging cultures and fostering hope.

One World introduces a new school program- The Academic Accelerator. The Academic Accelerator program is a multi-faceted school support program to prepare students to thrive in a time of exponential change. It enhances math, science and language skills as needed.

One World re­cently launched its Global Con­nec­tions Pro­gram at Wash­ing­ton Irv­ing In­ter­me­di­ate School in the Tar­ry­town School Dis­trict with nine class­rooms join­ing the pro­gram. The pro­gram con­nects stu­dents to their peers in Ecuador in an ef­fort to bring them to­gether to learn with and from one an­other.

One World and East New York Middle School of Excellence in Brooklyn, New York have collaborated to successfully bring the Academic Accelerator program to ELL students for two consecutive years.
