Crossroads College Preparatory School is proud to announce that junior Alyssa has been awarded a highly competitive AFS scholarship to study abroad in Costa Rica this summer! This incredible opportunity will allow her to immerse herself in a new culture, strengthen her Spanish language skills, and gain firsthand experience in global citizenship and cross-cultural exchange.
AFS (American Field Service) is a renowned international exchange program that selects students based on academic achievement, leadership potential, and a passion for cultural understanding. Alyssa’s selection for this program reflects her dedication to personal growth, education, and global engagement—all values we emphasize at Crossroads.
The Power of Global Learning
At Crossroads, we believe that education extends far beyond the classroom. International experiences like Alyssa’s not only broaden students’ perspectives but also enhance critical thinking, adaptability, and intercultural communication skills—all essential for success in today’s interconnected world. Through programs like AFS, our students gain real-world insights that prepare them for college, careers, and meaningful contributions to society.

Alyssa’s achievement also underscores the importance of cultural exchange within our own community. Each year, Crossroads hosts AFS exchange students from around the world, enriching our classrooms with diverse perspectives and global conversations. If your family is interested in welcoming an exchange student for the 2025-2026 school year, we’d love to hear from you!
