April's High School Happenings

French Student Exchange - 2023-2024

The French Exchange will be taking place next school year, 2023-2024. The French students will arrive Sunday, October 15 and stay with a host family until October 27. There will be field trips for the French students and the American students will be able to join in on some of those. There will also be evening activities from time to time for everyone to enjoy. The American students will go to France on March 30 and come home April 7. While in France, we stay with host families and go on various field trips during the day, including Mt. St. Michel, the beaches of Normandy and St. Malo among others and then we will spend our last day in Paris with a lot of sightseeing! If you are interested in this amazing experience for your student, please contact Mrs. Farquhar-Nelson at kfarquhar-nelson@gananda.org so she can give you more information. This program is for any Gananda student (not just French students!) in grades 10-12 for the 2023-2024 school year.
