Students From the LaSalle School in Spain Visit Vermont Academy

Sept. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- SPANISH STUDENTS EXPLORE AMERICAN CULTURE AT VERMONT ACADEMY

During the months of September and October 2012, a group of students from the LaSalle School in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, are visiting southern Vermont. They are living with local families and spending part of their day at Vermont Academy, joining VA students in academic classes and sport practices. They will also have the opportunity to take part in the performing arts and music programs at Vermont Academy.

The students' focus will be on American culture as they live with American families and experience firsthand what it is like to attend classes in a different educational system. Their LaSalle chaperone will work with the students to keep them current with their classes back in Spain, so that when they finish their experience in the U.S., they have a solid reentry into their own system.

The LaSalle students will travel to New York, Boston, Montreal and Philadelphia as part of their experience. During their visits to these cities, students will tour the most significant historical and cultural sites and visit key museums, buildings and expositions. Students will also have some time for casual exploring and shopping.
