Westminster Welcomes Middle School Spanish Exchange Students for October Visit

Westminster Christian Academy recently welcomed 10 middle school Spanish exchange students and one teacher from Alpha and Omega Evangelical School in Denia, Spain, to St. Louis for two weeks.

The exchange is a direct result of the efforts of Westminster’s International Partnership Program, led by Dr. Dani Butler, and the program’s new study abroad component. Westminster’s partner school relationship with Alpha and Omega began two years ago in October 2014. Eighteen Westminster students and three faculty visited the Spanish school in late May of last spring for the second study abroad experience with the school.

During their stay, the student and faculty visitors from Alpha and Omega will study at Westminster and experience American and St. Louis culture with their Westminster host families. At school, they will follow the class schedule of their host family’s student and participate in campus activities, games, and special school events. For all the students from Alpha and Omega, this is the first time they have visited the United States.
