ICES Study Abroad Programs

🎉 February ICES Student of the Month 🎉
Please join us in celebrating Bera Martinez, who is placed in Ohio! Bera attends Middletown Christian School and has embraced every opportunity to get involved. From joining the girls’ cheerleading squad and a community swim team to working behind the scenes on stage crew for the school play, she approaches each new experience with enthusiasm—and her words say it best: “I may not be very good… but I can give it a try.” 💙

Bera also volunteers daily in a 1st-grade classroom during study hall, serving as a classroom aide and finding true joy in helping young students. Whether she’s planning a surprise birthday party for her host sister, signing up first for every ICES activity, or cheering on her classmates, Bera’s constant smile and eagerness to participate make her a wonderful example of living the exchange dream.
