Chinese Capstone Students Are Here this Week!
Our Capstone exchange students from China are here this week! Students and teachers from the Suzhou Experimental Elementary School (our host school in Suzhou, China) are attending ISP Tuesday-Thursday. The SEES students are staying with our Chinese track 5th grade families. These are the same students who will host our 5th graders in March. We are very excited to have the opportunity to host these students. Now in its fifth year, it is an amazing and rare opportunity for cross-cultural exchange. We hope that every host family and student truly enjoys the experience. If you see the visiting students or teachers on campus, please join us in welcoming them to ISP!
