On June 10th, students of Arquitecto Ventura Rodriguez were lucky enough to welcome visiting students from Chicago, as part of the 2013 exchange programme. The American pupils have been kept busy with a variety of activities here, giving talks about the American schooling system, exploring Boadilla del Monte, and taking a guided walk of Madrid in order to soak up all the amazing cultural sights there.
1) The day of arrival, we showed them round the school and then offered them breakfast in the dining hall
2)The American pupils visited Segovia, where they marvelled at the beauty of the Roman aqueduct. They then visited El Escorial, Toledo, and the Palacio Real de Aranjuez and the gardens there.
3) The students from William Fremd High and the Spanish students on a day trip to Madrid, at the Parque del Retiro and some other places, and then below on a guided tour of Boadilla. We were welcomed by Boadilla's young and very friendly mayor - who coincidentally speaks very good English!
