Commitment: Participating in the exchange is a commitment to our school, the European school involved, the foreign student and the hospitable family abroad. Making this commitment means that you choose the experience regardless of the destination, who you are travelling with and the activities you will be offered. The school is committed to only offering safe and high-quality exchanges.
Hosting of the students: When we go abroad we stay with a family. In return the foreign study will be hosted by your family. We strongly believe that hosting a foreign student and staying abroad with a family is a unique experience. This experience is not comparable to a stay in a hotel. The student gets a unique insight into the daily life of a European family from abroad. Friendships are made that sometimes last a lifetime. Students discover other cultural customs that can only contribute to a broader and more tolerant view of the world and its citizens.
Rules and regulations: This is a group exchange, we expect everyone to act involved, respectfully, disciplined and responsibly. The school regulations remain applicable at all times. Follow the agreements of the person in charge to the letter. Take your own responsibility, make sure you are on site and on time. The parents of the pupils who misbehave very seriously will be contacted immediately and disciplinary measures may be taken either immediately or on the return to school. In the event of serious misconduct, a pupil can be sent home under supervision, the costs associated with this are at the expense of the parents.
