Global Citizen Diploma
NIST International School - Bangkok, Thailand
What is the Global Citizen Diploma Programme?
NIST is a member of a 10-school consortium that offers the Global Citizen Diploma (GCD). The GCD provides students with a credential that highlights the qualities of global citizenship, as well as the opportunity to describe their whole education through reflection on their experiences.
The GCD is a Diploma Programme designed to complement the rigour of NIST's Learning Programme by recognising a student's educational experience, inside and outside the classroom.
The GCD at NIST provides students with a structured way to reflect on and synthesise their diverse experiences. This program helps students realize their potential to make meaningful global contributions, by encouraging them to engage deeply with different perspectives. It also fosters the growth of their passions, talents, and skills.
What is a Global Citizen?
A person who conducts their daily life with a commitment to understanding others; who makes decisions with an awareness of how they affect communities locally and globally; and who advocates and holds themselves accountable for social and environmental sustainability.
Why do the GCD?
NIST is one of the only 9 schools worldwide that offer the Global Citizenship Diploma. It gives students a framework to internalize their unique and varied experiences to grow their self and global awareness and be recognised for achievements outside of academics.

The GCD is important to NIST because it aligns with the school's core values. We believe all our students should be embodying those values, which is what the GCD is all about.
