During the month of July, our Juniors, Teens, and High School students embark on unforgettable international experiences: exchange trips to Switzerland and Boston.Far beyond tourism, these trips are true journeys of learning and personal growth. In short-term programs, averaging two to four weeks, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in new languages, cultures, and ways of thinking.According to our Coordinator of International and Institutional Relations, Marilda Bardal, these experiences are an important step toward self-discovery and the development of essential life skills.“By stepping out of their usual environment, teenagers begin to see themselves as part of something greater and start to recognize their strengths, limits, and interests more clearly. It’s a powerful process that resonates throughout their lives,” says Marilda.In addition to language improvement, students return from these experiences with greater autonomy, courage, critical thinking, and purpose. Qualities that are increasingly valued in both academic and professional settings.
