No longer confined by traditional education, students today walk the globe in search of information, new ideas, different cultures, and fellow explorers. Their world expands beyond location and time. They have unlimited opportunity to feed the fire of human potential fueled by the technological revolution. They represent a quantum leap in human thinking. Like the wind, their horizons have no boundaries. Today's students are the first
generation of Windwalkers.
