On Friday, January 19, P-H-M hosted 21 students and seven teachers from P-H-M’s partner school in Anshan, China.
Click to see the picture gallery below. The visit started at Discovery where students, staff and P-H-M administrators attended a kick-off breakfast. The student visitors spent the morning at Discovery sitting in on various classes with their P-H-M host student learning from DMS teachers. Our Chinese visitors even got to experience an American middle school lunchroom. Our Anshan guests also received some DMS Archer “swag!”
The students and teachers also got to visit classrooms at Grissom and Schmucker Middle schools—giving them a complete flavor of academic life in Penn-Harris-Madison. Click to see pictures from the Schmucker visit; click see pictures from the Grissom visit.
