Global Classroom Exchange

Connecting classrooms across communities so students can learn from one another through culture, storytelling, and shared educational experiences.

Connecting Classrooms Globally

The SMILE Global Classroom Exchange is a signature program designed to connect students in the United States and the Dominican Republic through guided exchanges, letters, drawings, storytelling, and shared learning prompts. The pilot begins with a simple classroom-to-classroom model and can expand over time into video, collaborative projects, and deeper cultural learning.
