SYA is a small school, taking up one floor of a building, and is roughly a 5-7 minute walk from our apartment. For the 2010-2011 school year, the SYA Spain program has 65 students -- that is a lot of math tests to grade! Parker will be teaching 5 classes and makes up "the math department."

Around 10 p.m. on September 3, the students arrived from Boston into the Zaragoza Delicias train station. Parker, along with the other faculty members, met them there and connected them with their host families. Orientation started September 6 and classes begin on September 8. On the weekend of September 17, SYA takes its first SYA trip to Alquézar, one of the towns of the Sierra de Guara natural park.
