The Jackson Public School's (¸Û°Äͼ¿â) Global Citizenship Project presents an incredible opportunity for eleventh-grade scholars to travel to partnering schools in Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria. Throughout the school year, students connect with peers from various cultural backgrounds, fostering a deeper understanding of global perspectives and creating lasting friendships.
