Member School Testimonials

"Всяка година учениците от ASSIST оказват незабравимо влияние върху Suffield Academy. Нашата общност се обогатява от позитивния дух и многобройните таланти на нашите стипендианти от ASSIST. Suffield отдавна цени отношенията си с ASSIST и ентусиазирано подкрепя страхотната работа на организацията."

"Нашите стипендианти на ASSIST оказаха огромно влияние върху живота на училището и начина, по който нашите ученици гледат на света. Те пристигат с намерението да извлекат максимална полза от всяко преживяване и си тръгват, като оставят впечатляваща следа в училищната ни общност."

“I have been working with ASSIST for almost 25 years, at two different schools, and have been thrilled with the caliber of student they provide, and the personalized approach they take to making sure each student/school match is good. ASSIST has been terrific in partnering with our school to ensure that the experience of the visiting student, as well as the host school, is as productive and positive as possible. Hawken is deeply enriched by having the ASSIST students provide a global perspective both in the classroom and in our co-curricular program. I can’t imagine our school without the benefit of the ASSIST students.”

“I have been in education for over thirty years and have been fortunate to welcome and get to know dozens of ASSIST scholars as part of school communities. All of these ASSIST students have been truly incredible people. While they are each unique individuals, coming from different countries, backgrounds, and cultures, what they share in common is a maturity beyond their years, a willingness to explore a brand new school community. Each of them has enriched the lives of host families, students, and the entire school community. I am ever grateful for ASSIST, and especially right now, for reminding us of our common ties as school communities and human beings around the globe. Global understanding and curiosity are going to be even more important moving forward post pandemic and ASSIST has certainly provided us all with an important bridge towards understanding. I am convinced ASSIST’s mission and scholars will continue to help us become a more peaceful world.”

“Please accept my most tremendous respect and gratitude for the commitment, due diligence, and leadership the ASSIST program has cultivated on behalf of our schools. Most significantly, ASSIST is inextricably linked with our need to invite a more diverse student body to our communities. With limited resources available for international travel, our schools are most fortunate to leverage the value and energy of a world-wide recruiting effort that impacts our schools annually with an infusion of scholars that contribute meaningfully to the richness of our students’ experiences. Our enduring missions are similar. We hope to bring together future leaders from around the globe to learn from one another. Andover is proud to continue our longstanding and strategic partnership with ASSIST.”

“For numerous years Western Reserve Academy has benefited enormously from the ASSIST students who enrich our school. Intelligent, thoughtful, and most importantly, engaged, ASSIST scholars immerse themselves fully in our living and learning environment. Their unique perspectives and experiences are valued by students and faculty alike. Partnering with ASSIST ensures a global network that is far greater than the time spent within our institution; the relationships, both to ideas and to others, last a lifetime.”
