ACS gave a warm welcome to a group of students and teachers from South Korea who visited on Friday as part of a two-week East Coast tour. The U.S. visit for the 32 students, ranging from 5th to 9th graders, was organized by Transnational Law and Business University of Seoul, South Korea to explore student-exchange opportunities. The students spent several hours in the morning visiting individual classrooms, talking with ACS students and teachers, and learning more about the ACS international student program. Six of the Korean students also gave a Tae Kwan Do demonstration in the Multi-Purpose Room during Upper School lunch. ACS first established an international student program in 2006 and has enrolled students from a variety of countries including Armenia, Bulgaria, China, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and South Korea. This year, the ACS student body includes 29 international high school-age students from China, Sweden, South Korea, and Vietnam.
