Welcome French exchange students

April 27, 2018

Cary Academy extends a warm “bienvenue” to a visiting exchange group from the Lycée Sainte Ursule, our sister school in Tours, France.  Head of School Mike Ehrhardt and Upper School Head Heather Clarkson welcomed the 31 students and their teachers, Isabelle Théry and Christine Becker, during a brief reception on Friday morning in the Administration Building lobby. This year’s exchange, coordinated by Kim Jones and Sam Goeuriot, is the 17th between our two schools. During their time at Cary Academy, the French students will visit regular classes with their CA partners, as well as participate in a series of special classes offered by volunteers from the CA faculty. The program also includes visits to downtown Raleigh and UNC-Chapel Hill, a tour of the Civil Rights Museum in Greensboro, a a day at the beach and a picnic at Jordan Lake. Our friends from Sainte Ursule will be with us until May 8th, and Cary Academy students will return the visit to Tours in late May/early June as part of our annual world language exchange program.
