How a plane ticket can change your future

Excitement and nerves build as you wait to board the plane. When you land, a new family welcomes you with open arms, and a school is ready to help you adapt and discover new things, new cultures, and new friendships. The first days are full of discoveries—every moment is a new lesson. This is the essence of an international stay: a journey that goes far beyond academic boundaries.

Every action becomes a learning experience, from taking the bus to joining in family and national traditions. And so, without even realizing it, the student not only improves their language fluency exponentially but also grows as a person, developing qualities such as independence, self-confidence, and open-mindedness.

Living with different cultures and people helps students understand diverse perspectives, fosters empathy, and teaches them to work in teams with people who have very different outlooks. This is not only useful for academic or professional learning—it is a life lesson.

At the same time, living far from home can be a real challenge, but it is precisely these moments that help you grow. When a student learns to solve small day-to-day problems, they are building skills that prepare them for any future situation. Experiencing new schools with new methodologies stimulates creativity and critical thinking, while building friendships that will become a global network of contacts—an invaluable resource for their future.

At the schools of Institució, we are committed to opening the doors of the world through personalized international programs—from short and long stays to exchange programs—all with the goal of ensuring that our students not only broaden their academic horizons but also become citizens of the world, ready to lead with empathy, knowledge, and a global vision.
