On Wednesday, September 9, we held an information session on two upcoming exchange programs in Europe. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to build new exchange partnerships with schools in Brest, France, and Diekirch, Luxembourg.

These exchange programs are open to first- and second-year high school students. First, our students will welcome students from overseas into their homes as host families. Later, our students will travel abroad and stay with the families of the students they hosted. We believe that this type of reciprocal exchange, in which students experience daily life in each other's homes, provides a highly meaningful opportunity that goes far beyond what can be gained from ordinary sightseeing or travel.

We are also pleased to be able to offer exchange programs that provide students with enriching experiences while remaining financially accessible. We hope to continue expanding opportunities like these—meaningful exchange programs that are accessible to even more students.
