Mission Statement
We believe that learning about other cultures, languages, and customs is the best way to dispel prejudices and embrace global citizenship. Our students become fully immersed in the day-to-day life of a new culture, which includes becoming part of a new host family as well as attending a local school in the host country. This unique immersion experience allows students to improve language skills, create lifelong friendships, boost personal confidence and communication skills, and develop a deeper appreciation of the world we share.
