Noro Portal and Shared Studios

The next generation of global education

It’s the world’s first permanent Noro portal on a high school campus and a space where Flyers come to learn more about themselves and the world around them. Shared Studios and the portal are designed to connect our students with people and cultures across the globe through a unique and immersive experience.

The portal enables real-time, interactive sessions with participants from locations including Lagos, Nigeria; Johannesburg, South Africa; Mexico City, Mexico; Bamako, Mali; and Erbil, Iraq. This initiative will allow students to delve into diverse themes such as the legacy of colonization, Indigenous education, engaging with ecosystems, high school life across the world, the impact of social media, and global arts and culture.

Conversations with participants from cities like Lagos and Mexico City explore topics from history and education to social media and the arts.
