We arrived here on Saturday morning, very exhausted and jet lagged. We were welcomed by our partners with a lunch and an introduction to our rooms. On Sunday, after getting some rest, students participated in a welcome assembly, as well as an orientation to the rules and schedules of the school. The school schedule and expectations in a Japanese-oriented boarding school are quite different from a Canadian public school; however, our students are adjusting well as they get to know the Japanese students. Many of them have already been able to establish connections with their Japanese partners.
Today, classes have started and there is a welcome party for our students this afternoon. If you have not yet heard from your son/daughter, take heart... The tech staff was only on campus starting today, so hopefully all will receive wifi access before the end of the day (fingers crossed).
We are off to a great start!

Waiting for our next flight in the Montreal airport. Can you tell who the sleeping beauties are?
Enroute to Geneva. Some students experienced flying for the very first time! We also caught a glimpse of the Alps from the plane cabin.
The view from the school. Beautiful!
