A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 29 teachers, GLOBAL LEARNING COLLABORATIVE (THE) has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Global Learning Collaborative (GLC) is a small, specialized public secondary school located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It is part of the New York City Department of Education’s network and is known for its commitment to global citizenship, inquiry-based learning, and a personalized educational environment. By maintaining a smaller student body, the school fosters a tight-knit community where faculty can closely monitor student progress and provide individualized support, making it a popular choice for families seeking an alternative to the city's larger, more traditional high schools.

The school’s curriculum is centered around interdisciplinary studies, often emphasizing the "Global Learning" aspect through projects that challenge students to connect local issues with international perspectives. GLC utilizes a performance-based assessment model, which prioritizes critical thinking, research, and oral presentation skills over standardized testing. By focusing on academic rigor combined with social-emotional growth, the school aims to prepare its graduates not just for college, but to become socially conscious and engaged participants in a diverse, global society.
