Exchange Program
Applications are currently available for
Brooks' exchange program.
During Family Weekend there will be an information session about it in the Chapel at 12:30 p.m. Attendees will hear from students who went on exchange last year and from Andrew McLean, exchange program director and history teacher. It is a great time to get information and ask questions about the program. Applications are due Nov. 1. Families knowing about the program, and engaging in the process alongside their students, is a great way to make the most of this opportunity. Contact
Andrew McLean
or Exchange Program Assistant Director and Registrar
Lisa Saunders
