As you may have heard, our school opened its doors to a Spanish foreign exchange student for the school year for a cultural and academic exchange. A local family welcomed him into their home, and we are so very thankful to both the school and this wonderful family for their kindness and coordination. 

The experience is proving a success! New friendships are forming and this exchange is enriching our cultures, our minds, and our hearts.

We are placing new students NOW for the next academic year. If you are interested in hosting and learning how it works, please contact Sonia Natalias (CHS parent and former exchange student) on behalf of Global College.
