Expeditions and Exchanges
Internships and academic and cultural exchanges are central to Marymount Barranquilla's commitment to the development of its students' Global Competence. These formative experiences are designed to foster curiosity and interest in the world, the ability to recognize different perspectives, and the ability to communicate with diverse groups.
Marymount Barranquilla offers its students a variety of exchanges, both organized and structured by the institution, as well as those in collaboration with other schools in the RSHM network. In addition, students have the option to participate in independent programs that meet the requirements established by the school. These opportunities allow students to expand their horizons, develop a deeper understanding of other cultures and prepare them to be global citizens in today's interconnected world.
By participating in student exchanges, young people will be able to develop multicultural competencies, language skills, strengthen their sense of identity, as well as other competencies necessary for interaction in globalization.
Exchange students from New York at Marymount Barranquilla

It was an incredible 3 weeks of exchange for the Marymount New York students as they came to an end, leaving behind a treasure trove of unforgettable memories, enriching experiences, lifelong friendships and cultural awakenings. Madeleine, Alex, James and Liam really enjoyed every moment to the fullest!
