From Isabel:
I think the school is a neat place. It was founded as two schools in 1934 (boys and girls) by a mother superior and a bishop, united into one pre/k-Bachillerato in the 1980s. The faculty are quite dedicated, and immediately wanted to talk with me about what kinds of activities we could create for the girls (on each end of the exchange) because they want to make it more enriching for our students when they are here. The original building (recently restored) is a 19th century mansion. They have added new facilities and a pool, which the neighborhood is able to use as well. Some of the buildings (newer or newly renovated) are powered by the solar panels on the roof. I say they may be "greener" than we are :-) Harpeth Hall student Rachel will be going to Madrid this weekend with her host, Macarena. They are traveling on the AVE, the high velocity train.
