Beautiful moment from alumni Carol on why she decided to be part of the Kaplan family:

"I always had the dream of doing an exchange and getting to know another country and this finally came true in 2015. It was my first international trip alone, but I think my excitement was greater than any fear I could feel.

The whole process was extremely important for my maturity and personal growth. From the moment I have left, I carry a feeling of longing. I miss the almost always cloudy and rainy winter weather, the countless parasols that were broken by the wind, the double rainbow, the incredible teachers I had and the friends I made"

"Come rain or shine, we always need our friends to get by"
