From Barcelona to Philadelphia: an exchange to learn and grow

In early October, Haverford School in Philadelphia welcomed students from La Farga, part of the Institució Group, as part of our International Programme. During their two-week stay, the students participated in classes, cheered on Inter-Ac football matches and discovered iconic sites in Philadelphia and New York alongside their host classmates. In February, it will be the turn of the American students, who will travel to Spain to complete the exchange and experience the culture and school life at La Farga first-hand.

What are the benefits of doing an exchange?

• Improving your English by living and studying in an immersive environment.
• Gaining autonomy and confidence by learning to adapt to new situations and ways of doing things.
• Discovering a different way of learning by sharing a classroom with students from another country.
• Experiencing a unique culture by becoming part of a local family’s daily life.
• Meeting new people and building international friendships that last a lifetime.
