Building Competence and Confidence
Global learning provides opportunities for students to grow as independent, globally competent, and more culturally aware individuals. Our programs improve students’ cross-cultural skills, encourage risk-taking, and further language development when appropriate. Learn about the experiences in Cádiz, Spain and Arles, France below.
This immersive experience is designed specifically for our 9th-grade students and serves as a meaningful introduction to international travel. During students’ time in Cádiz, K2 Internacional School will serve as their home base and students will stay with host families associated with the school. Cádiz is a compact city that is easily navigated by all visitors and the beautiful beaches, forests, and hills that surround the city will offer our students respite and an opportunityto appreciate nature. With a view toward continuing to stretch students’ evolving sense of self and place during their time in Spain, the immersion includes opportunities to grapple with the geographical, historical, and cultural particularities and dynamics of the broader region, including pondering the grandeur of the Mosque of Córdoba, the magnificence of the largest gothic cathedral in the world in Sevilla, and exploring the Alhambra in Granada.
Throughout the 11-day immersion, students will participate in a variety of contexts that aim to guide them toward greater awareness and understanding of this fascinating part of the world as well as the capacity to appreciate the diverse ways of being and living that make up the human experience.
Cádiz enjoys a hallowed geographic location in southern Spain where it has stood witness to the dawn of Western civilization. It is a city at a cultural crossroads and infused with the rich traditions of the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Visigoths, and later the Moors. Today, one will notice a rich intersection of cultures and the distinct influences of each empire in every aspect of life.
"One of my favorite things about Cádiz is the history. I'm a big history buff and part of that history is the architecture. There are influences from all over the world...and I just love getting to tour."
