Angela: What can you tell us about your program in Venezuela? How did you find the program and what type of program it was?


James:  It was an international school which was geared to children of parents who work for the various oil companies that are working near Maracaibo in Venezuela.

Angela:  Oh OK. And is it kindergarten through twelfth grade?

James:  It was actually pre-kindergarten starting with three year-olds all the way until ninth grade. Even though there were a lot of grade levels there were only 60 students total in the school. Very small.

Angela:  60 students. And what was your subject area?

James:  I taught second and third grade multiple subject and music for second grade.

Angela:  And how did you find the experience? What's your overall impression?

James:  As far the teaching and the school goes I had a great time. I only had five students in my second and third grade class. It was a very good experience to see what spending a year working with that small of a class size can really do and also how far the students can progress.

Now, let's take a look at some other study abroad countries and programs.
