How long is the NWS High School Exchange Program?
NWS exchange students live with the Host Family and attend high school for a full, 10 month academic year or for a 5 month semester program. All students arrive approximately one week before school begins and depart 7-10 days after the program ends. The full academic year students arrive in late August and depart in June. The 5-month spring semester students arrive in mid January and depart in June. Our Hemisphere Students arrive in January for a full school year of January to January of the following year. If the high school in your area starts early or your family will be on vacation, special arrangements can be made for the arrival date of your student.
