French, Italian Exchange Program
 Sign up NOW to host French and Italian exchange students next year!
As you may know,
Bishop Watterson has three European sister-schools, one in France and two in Italy. All three will be sending groups of exchange students to
BWHS next year. The time to sign-up to host a student in one or more of the exchanges is NOW.
The dates of the exchanges are:
Istituto Calamandrei - Florence, Ital
y
September 10-20, 2016 - 26 students
Istituto Russell-Newton - Florence, Italy
October 13-26, 2016 - 25 students
Institution St. Joseph - Le Havre, Normandy, France
February 4-18, 2017 - 35 students
There is no fee to host and the benefits for your child/children are immense. Both groups are fully chaperoned by teachers from their school and speak English so NO French or Italian is required. In fact
, we welcome non-Italian/French speaking students to take part in the program.
During their visit, your exchange student will accompany your student to school and will either go to school with him/her or go on day trips to various cultural, historical, scientific or governmental sights in Central Ohio. Your
BWHS student may go on the trips too. Your only responsibility is to provide a home, transportation to/from school (and occasionally evening activities) and meals, including sack lunches.
As we all know, the world is a small place these days - and getting smaller. Why not give your
Watterson student an "international experience" without leaving home by hosting a French or Italian exchange student next year?
Contact Jim Dury at
jdury@cdeducation.org immediately for more information or to sign up. You won't regret it! Grazie! Merci!
