Even with the school year winding down and summer starting up, there's activity in public education, as Business and Technology Academy Charter School inked an agreement for education tourism as part of their curriculum. The new program will give students a cultural exchange and an overview of what is Guam's primary source of income and what is effectively our "export good".

Mike Soderquist, whose company signed the memorandum of understanding with BTACS, announced to students, "To have the opportunity to visit Korea and to visit Taiwan, and to also allow the Taiwanese and Korean students visit here. So we're really looking forward to this partnership and growing it. And we have a lot of fun and exciting programs that we're working on for the future."

And school principal Dylan Sablan added, "You will have more individuals from other countries and you will have more peers from other countries. And they're going to buy-into the same mission that we have here at BTACS, which is to solve problems, to root ourselves in our culture, and to find solutions together – not just with those here in our community, but with so many other people throughout the world."

The Barrigada school recently made a similar partnership with Junior Achievement, as well as earning its initial accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
