Exchange Program

A hallmark of our high school experience is the opportunity to participate in a Waldorf high school exchange program, most often in a French or German-speaking country. Nearly two-thirds of our students spend up to three months of their sophomore or junior year abroad, fully immersed in a new language and culture. This experience deepens their language skills while offering a firsthand understanding of cultural differences.

Through partnerships with Waldorf schools across Europe, our shared curriculum ensures a smooth academic transition. Because participating families agree to host one another, costs remain low - typically just the cost of travel. Our students most often study in France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, though other destinations and programs may also be available.
