Curricular Exchanges
Agora Barcelona International School offers cultural programmes and stays in England, Ireland, France and the USA. Students in all years have the opportunity to do an exchange with any of these countries, for a month, a term, a semester or a school year. In addition, our Primary 5 pupils have a one-week exchange with Stonar School, and all pupils from the age of 10 can opt for the summer camp abroad. At Agora Barcelona International School, we offer pupils numerous opportunities to improve their language skills, including international exchanges. These are unique experiences which not only help pupils improve their competence in another language, but equip them for an international future, build friendships between students from different countries and cultures, and teach them values which will be useful throughout their lives.
Whilst learning a language is undoubtedly one of the main objectives of an exchange visit to a foreign country, the students benefit from this type of experience in many different ways. It opens their minds to other ways of life and helps them to develop values such as respect for cultural diversity. These are skills which will help them to become true citizens of the world, paving the way for a great professional future.
Through international exchanges pupils become more self-confident and more mature. They meet students from other cultures, and the whole experience helps them to define their own personalities and discover their true aspirations. Furthermore, being away from home helps the students become more independent as they face daily challenges that require them to make decisions by themselves.
