Global Virtual School
We are part of the Worldwide Education Fund of the Dallas Foundation. Our mission is to equip children in underserved areas of the world with English language skills and life skills that will help them break the cycle of generational poverty, either by continuing their studies or by finding good jobs.
Where can you find us?
This year, 2023, we are operating in 11 countries in Central and South Asia and West Africa: Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Senegal, Mauritania, Cabo Verde, Guinea. For more information, check out the schedule for the current session here: Fall 2023
Our Programs
NEW: For the first time, GVS is offering a Business class to advanced students. The two groups, in Pakistan and Mauritania, are studying the IGCSE content with a qualified volunteer Business teacher from the United States.
EAP
English for Academic Purposes
The trusted IGCSE curriculum helps students improve their English at an advanced level and helps them get ready for successful careers or for post-secondary education. Students get tested with past papers to ensure they are on par with peers around the world.
ESL
General English and Language Labs
The hybrid classroom environment allows students to interact with their teachers online and with peers in class, and practice their speaking skills. Language labs, equipped by GVS, help students in remote areas perfect their listening skills while in school.
ECD
Early Childhood Development
At WEF-GVS, we strongly believe that equipping young children with the right learning skills will influence positively their future. We know that with the right skills, they will grow into independent thinkers and high performers in their chosen professional careers.
Sponsor a GVS student
GVS students benefit immensely from the courses they have access to. Thanks to the many generous donors to the Worldwide Education Fund, GVS is growing and expanding its course offer, to ensure underprivileged children have opportunities to continue their studies and to access good jobs. For many of our students, this is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that would impact their lives. Please consider supporting our mission.
Working with my students in Tajikistan on a biweekly basis, I continue to be inspired by their eagerness to learn and dedication to the course content. . . . I had no idea how much joy and fulfillment they would be providing me.

Hello! My name is Mohammed and I participated in Global Virtual School (GVS) at American Spaces Kulob. I learned many things that are how to write the recipes of food, about different animals, active and passive voice, thesis statements, how to write research paper and other interesting topics. Thank you!
