SCHOOL TRIP TO NEW JERSEY

From the 19th to the 27th of May, a group of students from the first year of Bachillerato participated in an amazing school exchange programme with American students from New Jersey. Our students were hosted by American families. They treated them as family members, involving them in activities, excursions and household chores. By staying with friendly host families, our students could improve their communicative skills, and at the same time know their culture as part of a totally immersive experience.

We would like to thank the American families and the students and staff from Pascack Valley and Pascack Hills High School for their hospitality.
