As I've now spent 1.5 weeks with Accel International, I've learned a tremendous amount about Saudi culture and school system. 

Each day I spend around 7 hours at the school, moving from classroom to classroom as I support the teachers and students the best that I can. Here is a picture of some students during their music period, and the lobby of the school.

 

Scattered around the campus, there are communication boards for students who struggle to use their words and express their needs.

 

I feel so blessed to work with these talented teachers and sweet students.

Fun fact: the Saudis' weekend is Friday and Saturday, rather than Saturday and Sunday!
