Through school visits, workshops, and expert interviews Greenfield College forged international connections with educators from Finland, Germany, Spain, Sri Lanka, and Italy. Additionally, the directors checked in with colleagues at the Helsinki International School in order to share ideas for International Baccalaureate student collaboration.
