CFGL Young Artists Contest

The ability to express oneself boldly is a trait found in many of the world’s most influential people. The Center for Future Global Leaders, in partnership with Elite Educational Institute, seeks to recognize and encourage artistic expression in today’s youth. This summer, CFGL invites young artists in grades 9-12 to explore—through visual art, photography, video, music, poetry, and any other creative medium—the idea of discovery. Submit an original work of art inspired by the following quotation: "Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different."― Albert Szent-Györgyi (1937 Nobel Prize winner)

The 2023 contest is now closed. Congratulations to our 2023 Awardees!

Faiza’s Journey at Elite Open School

When Roshan Learning Center’s collaboration with Elite Open School started in August 2019, Faiza was part of our first cohort of students. Her journey has been nothing short of inspiring.

Faiza wasn’t always a morning person. “I couldn’t imagine waking up at 6 or 5,” she says. Now, she wakes up before 6 AM and gets ready for school in Roshan’s Elite Open School program. She has to leave early since she travels between one and two hours to get to the center. After she arrives, she goes straight to the class where she continues with English, math, civics, and science studies. In three years, she has changed, and things have changed, too, for her family.
