Most of the people dream of studying English abroad because it gives them the opportunity to improve their level. Calgary, in Canada, is a great place for making this dream come true and being in touch with the culture and the language.

Next April 5th a group of nine students and a teacher will travel to Calgary to participate in the Calgary Catholic School District S.T.E.P Program. The students will attend classes in different schools and the teacher will accompany them and will be involved in the activities each of these schools has.

Gimnasio Iragua wishes them a great trip and hopes that this experience becomes unforgettable and meaningful for their lives.

My experience

By Mapache:

 My Calgary school is awesome! It is big and well organized. I like how the music class has lots of instruments comparing with the ones that our school has. 

The park of my school in Calgary is bigger than the one we have in Bogotá.

The security of all the schools makes a big difference because you can go out of the school in recess time and because on Saturdays and Sundays kids can come to this park.

 I am so happy and I want to live here but at the same time I miss my parents.
