This experience changed my life! Now, I have more dreams and some other goals. I'm so thankful for everything that I've learned. I want to continue growing as a human and as a teacher. The Amity program is one the best things that ever happened to me." - Michelle, 2018-2019 Intern

We have been working with Amity for several years. Learning about different cultures, communities, traditions, music, arts, dances and more, helps our students to see the world as a global place fostering diversity and respect. Having a second adult in the classroom helps our teachers to be able to have more individualized attention to students and work on small groups. Amity has been a wonderful organization to work with, reliable and accessible, bringing highly qualified young people to work in our school."- Maria Buceta Miller, Amity School Coordinator, John Stanford International School

Amity Intern, Andrea Nikole, shared photos of her Amity Intern, Andrea Nikole, shared photos of her cultural presentation at school and shared more about it below: 

“The photos show me sharing a little bit of Salvadoran culture with the students. I’m wearing traditional Salvadoran clothing and showing them some of our traditions and culture. It was a really special moment because I was able to share a part of where I come from with the students and teach them a little about El Salvador. I’m very happy that they were interested and excited to learn about my culture! 🇸🇻❤️”

“Touchdown, USA! 🇺🇸✈️

Filled with excitement, gratitude, and a little bit of nervous energy as I begin my journey as a first-time J-1 teacher. This is more than just a new destination—it’s an opportunity to grow, learn, inspire, and make meaningful connections across cultures.

Ready to embrace new experiences, create lasting memories, and make a difference in the classroom. Here’s to new beginnings and an unforgettable teaching adventure! 🍎📚✨
 
Thank you Amity Institute for helping me make this journey possible.”
