Our Summer Session II Students left to return to the USA this past Saturday! We hope they had a safe flight and enjoy the rest of their summer.

This marks the end of another great academic year at SAIIE. We’d like to extend a warm thank you to all those involved in making SAIIE operate smoothly- the staff, the teachers, the host mothers, the internship providers, the sports coaches, and of course, the students.
