In light of our continued leadership in International programming, across Canada and around the world, Queen Elizabeth High School was chosen as the host school for The Centre for Global Education as well as the Canadian partner for Weifang No. 1 School in China.

The Centre, based at Queen Elizabeth High School, facilitates programming that goes beyond the four wall of the classroom and opens students to up to world beyond the textbook. Every year, the Centre brings together over 4000 students and educators from every continent on earth.
