Building friendships and understanding across cultures
Building friendships and understanding across cultures
Established in 1994, the Japanese intercultural exchange with Fukui Prefecture has been the only continuous international exchange program at New Providence High School. New Providence High School has had the distinction of hosting an annual Cultural and Science Exchange since 2009. Every October, about 25 Japanese students travel to New Providence to share culture, science, and friendship with our students and community.
