French exchange students visit RE
Eighteen French exchange students have visited RE’s classrooms, stayed with students’ families and enjoyed a grand tour of Miami during a two-week visit that has advanced Ransom Everglades’ decade-long relationship with the Lycée Alphonse Daudet high school in Nimes, France.
Fifteen RE French students traveled in the summer of 2018 with French teacher Dominique McKenna to Nimes to stay with families from the same school, McKenna’s alma mater, and RE students will travel again next summer.
The bilateral exchanges, which are approved by the board of education in France, the Academie of Montpellier, provide RE’s French students with an opportunity to form lasting relationships while also giving all of them a true foreign immersion.
Since arriving on Oct. 28, the visitors from Nimes have visited Miami Beach, Wynwood Art District, Cape Canaveral, Miccosukee Indian Village and the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science.
