Dabney discusses North Cross Taiwan with Herald staff

10/29/2021

Q: When did the idea for the school in Taiwan
A: The partnership with American Eagle Institute began -- I guess you could say the seed was planted many years ago. I lived in Taiwan 2009-2010 I worked for American Eagle Institute. I was an English teacher there. A good friend of mine was training in that program. That friend is now their sort of dean of their international school. She has moved her way up in the company. She is sort of vice president. We kept in touch. We visited as recently as 2018 when we were both teaching in China. We’ve been talking about ways we can bring our schools together. It’s just a matter of having an interest in developing education abroad. And knowing the right people trying to achieve that goal.
