Shaping Global Thinkers and Purposeful Leaders
The Whigham School will place graduate-level students on a campus as big as the world itself. They will travel to six continents and visit 40+ countries. While abroad, these future world changers will learn to speak four new languages: French, Spanish, Mandarin, and Arabic. During each regional residency, they will engage experientially with these cultures by learning their histories, politics, sociologies, and religions within the context where these ideas reside, where they were germinated, and where the events occurred.

The Three Core Competencies of a Whigham Graduate
The Tomorrow's
Leader Archetype
In 1490, Leonardo da Vinci first sketched The Vitruvian Man to represent the first-century B.C.E. architect Vitruvius’ notion that the proportion of the mature human form should be used to establish measures for architecture. The Whigham School champions the idea that The Tomorrow Leader Archetype™ should be used to measure the qualities of a future leader, where all people everywhere are best helped and where substantial good can be accomplished in our lifetime
