A recent visit by six exchange students from Ecuador enhanced the global view embraced by Madison Country Day School.
The students stayed for two weeks, attending classes at the private school for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in the town of Westport and staying with students' families.
They also shared aspects of their culture, in part by dancing at the school's weekly assembly.
"It's just one facet of the whole international program here," said Fabian Fernandez, a sophomore at Madison Country Day School. "The whole culture exchange -- it really shakes you out of a routine ... . You can really become a member of the global community."
Some students from the school here have visited Colegio Britanico Internacional, a school in Quito, Ecuador.
