At Inspired, a core aim is to ensure learners are fully prepared for a successful academic and working life in an evolving, global world, therefore during an international exchange, students experience the benefits of being part of a global community. Students share knowledge with others from diverse backgrounds, and in the process, they understand that they are part of an interconnected world and gain a deeper understanding of social and cultural values. International exchanges also allow learners to contextualise their prior knowledge of history, art, geography, languages, and so much more.

The Inspired educational approach encourages students to be confident in their abilities and actively participate in all aspects of the learning experience. A global exchange experience allows participants to apply their leadership and communication skills in a different setting, preparing learners for their life beyond primary and secondary education with self-belief and resilience.

The benefits of partaking in an exchange programme extend beyond the parameters of school. While sharing cultural and academic experiences with international students, exchanges can facilitate the creation of lifelong social networks, leading to a more connected future.

Bilingualism is an important feature of an Inspired education in which students learn to converse confidently in a least two languages from Primary education to IB. Studies show that the acquisition of an additional language is more effectively learnt with regular practice and overseas exchange opportunities offer an immersive language learning experience for young linguists to demonstrate their understanding under the guidance and encouragement of native speakers.

Travelling truly broadens the minds of young learners and for many Inspired students, long and short-term experiences overseas offer a unique opportunity for them to immerse themselves in other cultures whilst developing self-confidence in socialising with others and building their self-esteem while exercising their independence.
