At Dominican Academy, global exchange programs offer students unique opportunities to experience different cultures firsthand. These programs enrich academic learning with real-world experiences, promoting empathy, fostering global citizenship, and enabling students to gain invaluable insights into international cultures and global issues.
The Ricci-Guangqi Young Scholars Program immerses students in Chinese culture and language through engaging discussions, collaborative projects, and exciting experiences. Launched as a collaborative program with Dominican Academy, Regis High School, and Nanjing Foreign Language School, the Ricci-Guangqi Young Scholars Program allows students to delve into the complexities of our interconnected world, gaining invaluable insights and forging meaningful connections with peers from diverse backgrounds. The culmination of the Ricci Scholars program is a cultural and educational trip to China and a homestay with the Nanjing students. When the Nanjing students visit New York, they are hosted by their counterparts in their homes and attend programs organized and hosted by Dominican Academy and Regis High School. At Dominican Academy, the program is a for-credit course facilitated by the D.A. World Language Department.
