Because of your generosity, our upper school Spanish students didn't just learn about Spain — they experienced it. Walking through historic streets, ordering meals in Spanish, and connecting with local culture turned their lessons into living, breathing knowledge. The trip enriched students and teachers, sparking a lifetime of cultural understanding and global citizenship.
