TAMWORTH — Since its founding in 1989, education at The Community School has included international exchange opportunities as a way to nurture responsibility, respect, and a global perspective in its students. The Community School swelled its ranks last week when two students, Grayson Alosa, a sophomore from Sandwich, and Madison Lavoie, a junior from Effingham, returned from a two-month exchange in the Czech Republic with their three Czech counterparts.

This is the third exchange trip in three years between The Community School and Schola Humanitas, a math/science-focused high school in Litvinov, 70 miles north of Prague. These frequent trips have allowed students from both schools to form lasting connections. The Community School and Schola Humanitas met 20 years ago when they participated in a joint study of the effects of acid rain on pine growth.
