I.S.A. Nicaragua iTrip – safe and sound!

Dear parents,

I wanted to write you all as soon as possible to let you know we made it to Nicaragua smoothly. Everything at the airport went perfectly and the kids are already having a blast. We arrived in Managua this morning at 10am and were picked up by the Viviendas Leon staff, including Evan, who many of you have met.

We drove about 1.5 hours to Leon where we just finished a delicious lunch of chicken, beef, vegitables, and rice. Now we´re going to see some of the murals that Leon is famous for, before we head to Goyena where we will meet our host families and settle in for the evening.

Tomorrow morning we´ll hike up a volcano and do some swimming in the afternoon. On Monday, we´ll begin our work on a water sanitation project and continue getting to know the city and culture. I will try to update you every couple days, and hopefully I´ll even be able to include a few pictures.

All the best,

Brittany Erickson

About this Blog

International Studies Academy is a small, intimate learning community in which close relationships develop among the students, faculty, and parents and the values of cooperation, caring and creativity are emphasized. The school’s primary mission is to provide a rigorous course of study in a multicultural environment where the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to live in a global community are promoted. Emphasis at the Academy is placed on an intensive study of foreign languages, international relations, and Social Sciences. Students during their years at ISA will participate broadly in the community and learn how the San Francisco Bay Area is related to the larger global community. The school goals are expressed in the form of Expected School Wide Learning Results (ESLR\'s). Graduates of International Studies Academy are expected to: * exhibit the qualities of a responsible, global citizen * communicate effectively in English and another language * think creatively and critically * gather, evaluate and organize information from a variety of sources * work independently and collaboratively InternationalStudiesAcademy.org is NOT the official web site of I.S.A. but we hope that it will become a useful link for students, parents and the I.S.A. staff.
