Global Experiences
HudsonWay Immersion School (HWIS) is committed to educating our students and helping them learn how to thrive in the context of an increasingly interdependent world. Global citizenship education develops students who embrace cultures beyond their own, are aware of their own preconceptions, and can reflect and take action to impact both their local community and beyond. Global citizenship cultivates personal respect and respect for others, regardless of where they live or their backgrounds.
HudsonWay has led student and family global experiences whereby students were immersed in local schools, interacted with native speaking students, visted cultural sites, interacted with locals in Beijing, Shanghai and Xian, China, and Marbella and Madrid, Spain.
