ASV students participating in the Global Exchange Program with the Community School of Naples completed the second and last week of their stay in Florida, closing out an incredible exchange filled with adventure, learning, new friendships and unforgettable memories.
On Thursday, Febrary 13, they explored the Everglades National Park, observing wildlife on an airboat and even holding baby alligators! Afterward, they enjoyed lunch at Chipotle before returning to the CSN campus. On their final day at CSN, students experienced the energy and school spirit of an American pep rally. With music, cheering and performances, they got a realistic taste of what it means to be part of a spirited school community, making their last day on campus even more special.
Outside of school, students had a blast with their host families—exploring Naples, visiting amusement parks, and some even making unforgettable trips to Disney World! To celebrate their time together, families hosted a heartfelt farewell dinner on Thursday night, marking the end of two incredible weeks.
“Going to Naples was a wonderful experience. I came away with many friends and beautiful memories. I was met with so much kindness from the host family, as well as from the school, my classmates and the entire staff.”
