Christophe Pasquier – Language Teacher, Harrisdale Senior High School

This year marked a remarkable milestone for our school as we had the privilege of hosting a group of Japanese students for the very first time. This experience exceeded our expectations in every way, and it left us with a strong desire to continue exploring international connections.

At the heart of this success was the unwavering professionalism, dedication, and support that we received from Linda at AIIU, which was truly exceptional and played a pivotal role in making this exchange a resounding success.

The impact of this cultural exchange has been nothing short of transformative for our school community. The exposure to a different culture, the forging of new friendships, and the enriched learning experiences have left an indelible mark on our students and educators alike. Our school has become a more inclusive, globally aware, and open-minded community as a result of this invaluable connection.

Given the overwhelmingly positive outcomes of our collaboration with AIIU and the enriching experience of hosting Japanese students, we are excited to announce our intention to foster a long-lasting partnership with AIIU. In the years to come, we plan to expand our horizons by not only continuing to host Japanese students but also welcoming students from other parts of the world, starting with a group of French students.

Furthermore, we are committed to sending our own students abroad to experience the world from a new perspective. These initiatives align perfectly with our mission to prepare our students for a globalized world and to promote cultural exchange, understanding, and cooperation.

We are confident that our partnership with AIIU will continue to flourish, and we eagerly anticipate the exciting opportunities and experiences that lie ahead. This collaboration is a testament to our dedication to providing our students with a world-class education that extends beyond the classroom, nurturing global citizens who are equipped to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
