Abstract	The globalization of economies, the digitization of work, pressing health and security issues, and changing demographics have dramatically changed our world. Unlike previous generations, U.S. high school graduates will routinely buy from the world, sell to the world, work for international companies, manage employees from other cultures and countries, and tackle global problems, such as AIDS, avian flu, and pollution. The United States must create an education response to globalization, which should include raising standards, increasing high school and college graduation rates, and modernizing and internationalizing the curriculum to make it relevant to the global age. To be successful global citizens, workers, and leaders, students will need to be knowledgeable about the world, be able to communicate in languages other than English, and be informed and active citizens. Several approaches can help schools internationalize their curriculums. These include introducing an international studies requirement for graduation; creating elementary school immersion programs; developing international schools-within-schools; teaching crucial foreign languages, such as Chinese and Arabic; and redesigning urban secondary schools with an international focus.
