Our school participates in the mobility programme organized by the European schools. It gives to some S5 students the possibility to study for 4 months in another European School or accredited European School, and in exchange we receive students from various European schools willing to come and discover our school. The application has to be done during the year of S4.

Due to organizational reasons, the number of students that can be admitted to this programme is limited, and not all the requests can be fulfilled.

In order to be approved, a school exchange needs the approval of the directors of both schools involved. The class council provides advice – notably on the school results and on the behavior of the pupil. The school cannot be held liable for any expenses in case of cancellation of the exchange program, including travel restrictions or other conditions.

Procedure

• Parents have to find a school from the mobility school list,  which offers a linguistic section of the student in question,
• taking into account that the student has to be able to follow their subjects as much as possible.
• The application has to be done as soon as possible and not later than 13th January 2025.

The application, as well as a personal statement, written by the pupil, explaining why they would like to take part in the exchange programme must be sent to the coordinator : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Some important remarks

• The student has to be able to catch up some lost subjects and be aware to study extra on subjects that she/he cannot follow in the host school
• The student has to be mature enough
• The student has to think very well before the request is done
• Parents and pupils have to do their part themselves
• Finding a host family is often a big problem. It is an advantage if you know families in the area the student wants to go
