For high school Spanish
students nothing can compare to living language and culture at
the community level. Connecting to youth, sharing our way of
life and recognizing the challenges we face is a powerful "life
changing" Spanish experience. If you believe as we do that Latin
America and Spanish will play an extremely important role in
your child's future; then we invite you to take a closer look at
our 2008 summer program. The Nicaragua Summer Exchange operates
as a fully supervised high school exchange program that provides
aspiring young Spanish speakers with a truly authentic immersion
experience. This is how immersion programs "used to be",
strongly integrated into schools, family and youth programs. Our
high, student to staff ratio (2:1) means individual support and
interaction for visiting students. Because we run only one high
school program, parents know that the program director is
involved in all day to day student activities. We take great
pride in being Latin America's most community oriented high
school exchange program. To learn more about our summer program
we strongly encourage prospective students
and parents to use our past
participants, parents and teacher contacts. We always welcome your
questions, and please take the opportunity to request our free program DVD.
The Nicaragua High School
Summer Exchange, is a chartered member of the Nicaragua Ministry
of Education and since1998, a member of the Wisconsin Public
Schools International Programs, today through the success
of our dynamic "Spanish Through Leadership" philosophy, we
enroll students from Boston to San Francisco, from Toronto to
Tallahassee! Whether it be sports, the arts, academics, or music
and dance, we provide rewarding opportunities for high school
Spanish students to experience the warm embrace of Central
America's most historic colonial community Granada, Nicaragua.
