Institute for Study Abroad

 

For the past several years Dundonald Primary School has hosted international students from America as part of the International Student Abroad Programme in partnership with Stranmillis University College. This year Dundonald Primary School had the privilege of hosting five international student teachers in our Year 6 classes.
