A group of 12 Bolles upper school students returned from a 10-day exchange trip to Spain, where they attended classes with Spanish students, traveled to historic sites and experienced Spanish culture, cuisine and community.

Led and chaperoned by upper school International Programs Coordinator and Student Advisor Kristin Hong and Assistant Director of College Counseling Julie Moloney, students departed Jacksonville March 4 and made their way to the homes of host families from Colegio San Agustin, the school with which Bolles has maintained an exchange program for many years. Students attended classes at Colegio with their Spanish host students through the week and also traveled to nearby tourist destinations including Toledo, the Museo del Prado, Segovia, the Teatro Real and other sites. The group returned to Jacksonville on March 14.

Bolles exchange students in the international exchange program included:

Katrina Adewale ’22

Sofia Brieva ’25 

Chloe Brown ’24

Yasmine Chahlavi ’22

Kate Cohill ’23

Asha Gopal ’23

Meera Kuthiala ’23

Patrick Mulvey ’23

Anaiya Nahar ’25

Students enjoyed making forever friendships with their Colegio San Agustin hosts, whom they will see again stateside  when the Spanish students arrive for their Bolles experience March 25-April 3.
