Center for Global Studies at Brien McMahon High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Center for Global Studies (CGS) is a magnet school within Brien McMahon High School, in Norwalk, Connecticut. Its primary purpose is to teach students the language, history, and literature of Japan and China. Beginning the 2006-2007 school year, the Center in addition offers Arabic and Middle East Studies. Each year students participate in an exchange program from Japan to American homes, and from America to both Japan (to Kojo and Bunkyo High Schools) and China.
There are currently close to two hundred students enrolled in the program, and the number continues to grow each year. In 2005, the Center opened their new wing, which is a part of the rebuilding of Brien McMahon High School.
The program was previously known as the Center For Japanese Studies Abroad (CJSA), and dealt solely with Japanese studies.
