Description:
| How would your future lesson plans look after returning from a three-week exchange in Frankfurt, Germany? What new perspectives could you bring to your classroom after spending five days teaching students at a school in Kyoto, Japan? Could a guided field trip through the Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve in Costa Rica change your students' outlook on science, the environment and the world?
Imagine the benefits for you and your students: full immersion in a foreign culture, constant interaction with native students, teachers and families and a comprehensive understanding of the customs and traditions of another country and culture. School Partners Abroad is a reciprocal educational and cultural, 2 to 3 week, exchange between two partner schools, one in the United States and one in Europe, Latin America, Australia or Asia. For the students, the exchange consists of living with a host family, attending classes at your host community's school and participating in extracurricular and community activities.
For you, the exchange allows you to travel for free, share thoughts and ideas with colleagues from your host community and provide your students with a medium for learning that can never compare to a textbook, video or computer. Students, teachers, host families and communities have gained a global understanding through School Partners Abroad since 1947. During that time SPA has linked public, private, religious, small, large, urban and suburban schools with partners overseas. Many partnerships have endured over a decade.
