返回交换国美丽的生活 在现代法国的每一个地方! This incredible country has so much to offer anyone who chooses to study abroad, ranging from historical monuments such as the Eifel Tower to small quaint towns tucked away in the French countryside. Between your host family and your host school you will be able to fully immerse yourself in this rich culture making friends and exploring its history, 美味的菜, 自然景观优美，生机勃勃, 多元文化的城市.
Exchange students are placed with French host families throughout the country. Host families may vary from a single parent without children to a large family with more than one child. Host homes may be apartments or single-family dwellings and placement environments range from urban to small towns. Students may have their own rooms or be expected to share a room with a host sibling of the same gender and similar age.
As an exchange student you will have the amazing opportunity to connect with your host family on a personal level. While in their home you will live like a family member and be expected to participate fully within all aspects of your host family life.
学校年级水平
Students on the NWSE program are usually placed in the 11th grade or lower. NWSE students do not take the Baccalaureate (BAC). The BAC is the final exam after the 12th year, for which French students have spent their entire educational careers preparing. Exchange students rarely attend the BAC classes because of the significantly higher level. Principals of the schools will sometimes place exchange students in the 10th grade, 因为这个年级有很多不同的科目, and students can attend a wide variety of classes. The French lycee usually does not allow you to choose your classes: all students in one grade take the same classes.
All classes are taught entirely in French, so students should already have sufficient language comprehension skills before arriving on their exchange. 为了保证这一点, we recommend that students have at least two years of high school level French classes before going on their exchange and/or take appropriate language courses to bring up their language skills. if a student’s language skills are not up to par upon arrival in 法国 they will be required to take language courses for at least two to three weeks to help accelerate language skills acquisition. 这些课程的价格各不相同.
Students have the opportunity to take part in representative-organized excursions in 法国. Students are responsible for any potential costs for participation in these excursions.
