International Exchange programme
CBS Westland Row has a long history of hosting students from various European Countries who come here through the various English Language Schools. The students integrate so well here and bring so much to the school. They seem to really enjoy the innovative teaching styles used in CBS and appreciate the quality of relationships they have with the teachers and the supports they provide. They report going back to their own schools with new learning strategies and study skills and lifelong friendships. Likewise our students and teachers enjoy their presence in the class and they bring so many talents and an interest in learning which is contagious and which raises standards and aspirations of all.
They enjoy sharing their food, music etc and generously share those with us during intercultural week and at our many celebrations throughout the year. Our students likewise are proud to share their culture during Seachtain na Gaeilge.
