INFORMATION MEETINGS
Attending one of our live online information meeting gives you and your parents the opportunity to personally meet our staff and returnees, ask questions and give you comprehensive information about our unique high school exchanges. Live online sessions are held monthly via Zoom, a video conferencing service which makes it easy for anyone to join in. To register for a live online session, please RSVP below and we’ll be in touch with further details.
We also now offer pre-recorded online sessions for those who cannot attend any of the live ones offered. Please RSVP below and we will send you a link for the session.
We encourage parents, students and school teachers to attend and get familiar with our high school exchanges and the opportunities that we offer.
