As I write this, I'm waiting for our students to return from their weXplore, a five-day excursion that takes students beyond their host city for immersive cultural experiences.

Piran’s Reflection on TGS
During the Stockholm term, I discovered fourteen brothers and sisters. I’d never bonded with anyone else so much as I did with my new friends.
