See the World!
There are many ways to see the world. While traveling is definitely the most fun, the internet and connections with others give you opportunities too.
Hamilton Exchange Program
Hamilton has an exchange program with Aristos High School in Getafe, Madrid (Spain). Every other year, Spanish students live with host families in Hamilton for 3 weeks at the end of August/beginning of September, and then Hamilton students live with Spanish host families for 2-3 weeks, usually over Spring break or in June. Cities visited during Hamilton's trip to Spain have included Madrid, Granada, Córdoba, Sevilla, and Valencia. Are you interested in being a part of the exchange by either traveling, hosting, or both?
