From March 13th to 16th, 23 students and 3 teachers from Princeton High School in New Jersey of the United States came to our school.

In October in 2016, when SG course students went to the US for their Overseas Fieldwork, they visited Princeton High School, joined some classes, did presentations of their research, and did a homestay.

This time, students in Princeton High School joined many activities like lessons in our school, a lecture called ‘Challenging Flower Arrangement’ by our vice-principal, and first-year students’ presentations of SG Basic Research.  In addition, they stayed with families in our school.

[a host student’ comments]

＊I was able to appreciate culture in Kanazawa by thinking about where to take her and what to eat with her.  When I couldn’t understand what she said, I was able to talk with her using gestures and words, and I learned many English words and phrases.  It was a good chance to make foreign friends, speak English, and experience other cultures.

[comments from parents who accepted a homestay]

＊I am greatly relieved that we had a foreign students stay with us successfully.  At first, though my daughter was eager to accept a homestay, I couldn’t do it easily.  However, it was eventually a good experience and memory for my family.  Our guest student was well-mannered and bright, and talked a lot with us.  I am thankful for meeting her.
