This week, International School Hilversum proudly hosted students and staff from AÇI Schools in Turkey as part of their Art and Science Trip. The purpose of their visit was to enhance students' skills and understanding of mathematics and art through interdisciplinary exploration, while also encouraging intercultural collaboration.
During their time at ISH, Mr. Graves, our Art and Design teacher, led a session focused on Dutch artists, setting the stage for the students' upcoming visit to the Rijksmuseum. This discussion was enriched by the participation of our own Turkish speaking students, who confidently facilitated engagement, represented ISH, and demonstrated exceptional hospitality.
These interactions reflect the essence of education at ISH—fostering global connections, encouraging curiosity, and promoting collaboration across borders. The visit was a wonderful opportunity for everyone involved to learn, share ideas, and create meaningful memories.
We extend our gratitude to the AÇI Schools for their visit and to our students and staff for their efforts in making this exchange such a success.
Moments like these highlight the power of education to connect worldwide and make us proud to be an internationally engaged community!
