Opportunities to Study Abroad
	WHS junior on exchange in Cali, Columbia Waldorf school Because there are more than 800 Waldorf schools worldwide, our students have the opportunity to live far from home while continuing their Waldorf education. We are proud of our distinctive foreign exchange program, and encourage our tenth and eleventh graders to participate. Students live with a host family and study at a Waldorf school in another country for a semester, immersing themselves in a foreign culture and language. Our students have attended schools in Germany, Switzerland, Finland, France, Chile, Argentina, Columbia, and Peru. "Not many high school students have the opportunity to spend six months abroad in a foreign country. During my junior year, I attended a Waldorf school in Gottingen, Germany. Being in Germany for an extended period of time made me realize how much I love the language. That's when I first started to plan to make German a major focus of study in college."      ~Waldorf alumnus, currently enrolled in International Studies and Economics program at Connecticut College.

	International Student Applications
	Waldorf High School welcomes international students to apply for admission, either for regular admission or as part of our Foreign Exchange Program. Our international students enrich our school environment with their different experiences, perspectives and cultures.  We welcome applications from students from Waldorf schools throughout the world to apply for an exchange with students from our school. In recent years, we have had students from Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Israel, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Columbia, Japan and Korea. Please note that admission to the Foreign Exchange program is dependent upon the availability of  student from Waldorf High School to exchange to the exchange partners school. If you are an international student applying for regular admission, whether it be for a year or for the duration of your high school career, you will need to make arrangements with a host family. Before preparing an application, please contact Susan Morris, our enrollment coordinator, to determine if there are any openings for the current academic year or next year: send email to Susan Morris .   All international students need a visa to study at our school. After successful completion of our admissions process, we will file electronically a visa petition, the I-20, on her/his behalf. A paper copy will be sent to the student who takes the signed document to an appointment with the American consulate. See the Department of State's website, www.travel.state.gov, for general information about studying in the United States and the visa process.
