School Activities

If you would like to participate in the following events, please fill in the reply slip by 24 September

This year, AFS will host a range of intercultural events for local secondary school students. These events enable local students to interact and communicate with AFS exchange students from Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and Venezuela!

The events are free of charge and we welcome secondary school students from all grades. Please be aware that if students registered through their schools, they should arrive together as a group. Schools may choose to allow students to arrange their own transportation, but we recommend that a teacher lead the group.

Also, schools are welcome to be part of our Host School Program to host an exchange student for one academic year. Start planning now and inviting a foreigner to be your student!

Below are information about 2023-24 intercultural events and the 2024-25 Host School Program. If schools would like to participate in any of the events, please fill in the reply slip at the bottom of the website on or before 24 September.
