South Korean Students Visit Adrian Public Schools Adrian Public Schools was fortunate to have nine students from South Korea participate in a cultural exchange program. The American Experience Winter Program is an exciting cultural education program designed to introduce American culture to students from other countries. The students experienced what it is like to live in an American home, experience American Schools and have the opportunity to develop their language skills in ESL classes. The cultural exchange program is completely funded by the Miller Center for International Education.

The Miller Center approached principal Mike Perez about the possibilities of Korean students coming to Adrian Middle Schools. The nine Korean students attended school January 10th through February 6th and stayed with several host families in Adrian, Brooklyn and Onsted. Each student had an “American Buddy” that they teamed up with and assisted them throughout the day. On the weekends, the Miller Foundation sponsored fieldtrips for the Korean students to a Whalers Hockey game, Henry Ford Museum and Niagra Falls. Overall, the students enjoyed the American schools. Some of their favorite things included attending the Whaler’s Hockey game and seeing snow but did not like the fast food restaurants.
