An exceptional visit from Memphis, TN, to SUMATE Schools, Chile

Crosstown High School is proudly an XQ Super School. Chris has spent his last 30 years as a teacher, principal, and director at innovative schools in Kansas, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

Their recent visit on October 17th & 18th to Betania School, La Granja, and P. Alvaro Lavín School, Maipú, was a highlight in our journey and its only visit to a school in Chile. They both had the opportunity to meet the SUMATE team and students to learn about its work: Transform children and youth’s lives At-Risk through Re-entry programs for out-of-school students excluded from the education system. Superheroes of their own Stories – Flavio’s testimony.
“…my research has uncovered bright spots in an otherwise traditional landscape. Schools, teachers, and programs inspire students using real-world issues they care about it and impacting their towns, countries, and even the world. It’s an epic journey to explore innovative high school practices…” Chris Terril.
