March Break Abroad: We made it to Lisbon!

It was so amazing to see our group come together at Pearson International Airport. Representing Blyth in the best possible way right from the outset, our students were right on time and ready for the excitement ahead of us. After a slight delay once we boarded the aircraft, we were in the air and ready for the day ahead. The flight was smooth, and we all made it safely to Lisbon!

International Summers: Arrivederci Italia, we're coming home!

In Florence we continued  our journey to discover the best of Tuscan culture. We started out last week with a trip to Pisa, about an hour from Florence on the high-speed train. Students were successfully able to stop the leaning tower from falling, marvelled at the Pisa Cathedral and enjoyed a lovely garden lunch. A number of students opted to stay back and complete essays and ISPs.
