MIDS students make history in Cuba

On April 1, 2016, students from Maryland International Day School traveled to Cuba on the heels of President Obama’s historic visit to the island nation. The students ages 5 through 13 became the first Americans permitted to attend Cuban schools. Their week-long trip was chronicled by a local TV station and reported in the Washington Post.
