American and Japanese junior high school students smiling together at school in Japan

Yukuhashi City, in Fukuoka, Japan, and Grace Church School (GCS) in New York City have a long-standing partnership. At the core of their partnership is a student exchange program.

While working as an ALT on the JET Program, I helped with some of the school visits, events and cultural activities while the Grace Church School junior high students were doing their homestays.

I took photos over the course of a few days during the exchange in 2014:
