Familias y estudiantes,

We’ve spent the last four days here in the beautiful forestry of Vermont at Putney HQ for leader orientation. We’ve been imagining, planning, and constructing an unforgettable experience for you all in Spain. We are feeling so inspired by your personal statements and the program itinerary that we wrote a haiku:

United in Spain
Preguntar y viajar
Con confianza

We hope that during our time in Spain you grow to interact daily in Spanish with both confidence (confianza) and competence (competencia). Ahead of us we have weeks focused on immersion, both linguistic and cultural, through lots of amazing excursions, activities, and delicious meals. We can’t wait to begin this journey with you!

Hasta pronto,
Des and Katie
