The School of Global Citizenry, a program of Tumbuh Global, is an independent, CEU certified, global citizenship education (GCED) online school of continuing education for adult learners from religious, social, and civic backgrounds and a training center for new and emerging online educators. We are we are proud members in good standing with the Association of Educational Communications & Technology, Association of Leaders in Lifelong Learning for Ministry, the International Society for Technology in Education, and the Religious Education Association. SGC offers CEU approved trainings, courses, and virtual retreats. Most programs are adaptable for academic course credit (with prior approval). SGC does not confer academic degrees.

CEU stands for continuing education unit. Religious, social, and civic leaders are often required to earn "CEUs" to show evidence of ongoing professional development. Our trainings, courses, and virtual retreats offer anywhere from 1-5 continuing education units. These are the same caliber CEUs offered by most Christian seminaries and divinity schools in the US. We do not confer CPE credits and are not yet APA-accredited. 

The Diamond Standard™ is a research based quality standard for adult lifelong learning that ensures that our global learners are receiving quality education and training in a professional learning environment under the facilitation and leadership of proficient instructors and administrators. This standard weaves the core concepts of global citizenship education (GCED) together with the existing CEU standards of prominent institutional bodies for a robust learning experience specifically for postsecondary adult learners (PACE) from religious, social, and civic backgrounds.

Global citizenship education (GCED) aims to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to actively engage in the global community as responsible and informed citizens. This type of education promotes intercultural understanding, respect for diversity, critical thinking, and social responsibility. 

Global citizenship education is important for adult learners because: 1) it provides them with the tools to navigate a rapidly changing and interconnected world, 2) it helps develop critical thinking skills which are essential for engaging with complex and pressing global issues, and 3) it fosters a sense of social responsibility.
