French Exchange

About the French Exchange

This is the 25th year of the exchange with Collège LeBocage, a school of approximately 600 students and 40 teachers located in Dinard, France. Students and teachers from the school in Dinard visit us in October. As hosts, our students will be responsible for a French student and have the opportunity to create a lasting international friendship. Our students then travel to France in March and stay with families in Dinard. While in France, there will be many exciting excursions for us such as a stay in Paris or visiting Mont Saint Michel. In addition, there will be plenty of opportunities to visit classes.
