Learn about Emily Berdejo Guardiola’s Incredible Exchange Experience!
Emily, a Learning Cycle V (Semestralización) student at Colegio San José, spent her July 2024 vacation on an exciting exchange program at a prestigious university in Toronto, Canada (University of Toronto).
At Colegio San José, we’re proud to provide our students with global opportunities that help shape them into true global citizens.
Emily says:
“I want to share with you the joy and gratitude I feel after having lived the wonderful experience of this Summer Camp in Canada. Spending time on the University of Toronto campus, taking classes, and improving my English has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life.
This experience not only allowed me to improve my English, reaching an advanced level as the only Colombian student, but it also taught me valuable lessons in coexistence, adaptation, and time and money management in an international environment. I learned about different cultures, embraced diversity, and experienced the city in a way I will never forget.
All mornings were dedicated to classes, and the afternoons to excursions, which helped me get to know the city of Toronto better and make lasting friendships. I am deeply grateful to Colegio San José, which, from the very beginning, prepared me to make the most of this opportunity, as well as to God and my family for their unconditional support.
Without a doubt, I would repeat this experience, and I feel enormously grateful for everything I’ve learned and experienced.”
