Member School Testimonials

"ASSIST-studerende har en mindeværdig indflydelse på Suffield Academy hvert år. Vores samfund beriges af den positive ånd og de mange talenter, som vores ASSIST-elever har. Suffield har længe værdsat sit forhold til ASSIST og støtter entusiastisk organisationens store arbejde."

"Vores ASSIST Scholars har haft en enorm indflydelse på vores skoles liv og den måde, vores elever ser verden på. De ankommer med intentionen om at få mest muligt ud af hver eneste oplevelse og forlader skolen efter at have sat et imponerende præg på vores skolefællesskab."

“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.”

"Jeg har stor respekt og taknemmelighed for det engagement, den rettidige omhu og det lederskab, som ASSIST-programmet har skabt på vegne af vores skoler. Det vigtigste er, at ASSIST er uløseligt forbundet med vores behov for at invitere en mere mangfoldig elevgruppe til vores samfund. Med begrænsede ressourcer til rådighed for internationale rejser er vores skoler meget heldige at kunne udnytte værdien og energien i en verdensomspændende rekrutteringsindsats, der hvert år påvirker vores skoler med en infusion af forskere, der bidrager meningsfuldt til rigdommen i vores elevers oplevelser. Vores varige missioner er ens. Vi håber at kunne bringe fremtidige ledere fra hele verden sammen for at lære af hinanden. Andover er stolt over at fortsætte vores mangeårige og strategiske partnerskab med 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.”
