Each year the Lower School chooses a country to study in depth, culminating in a weeklong intensive during the first week of February. Yesterday the Lower School faculty launched its study of Spain by inviting three Spanish guests to school to share information about their culture.

It was a wonderfully informative afternoon thanks to the generosity of the Spanish visitors!
