Teacher ambassadors travel from around the world to participate in meaningful exchanges with students and staff. We currently have two International teachers on staff, one from South Africa and one from the Philippines. These educators came to Alston Ridge through a program managed in partnership with Participate Learning, which brings dozens of teachers from countries worldwide to local schools every year.
