TWO WAY EXCHANGE between Ireland and FRANCE 2021
Programme: The Irish student will be matched with a French family having a child of a similar age who wants to improve their English.
For this programme the Irish student will travel to France and stay for a number of weeks with a French family and will speak and be immersed in the French language while there. The French student will travel to Ireland to improve their English language skills and to experience our culture and the way of life here. The families agree the travel dates and sequence of the visits. Both students will be together for the duration of the stay in France and Ireland.
Two way exchange a reciprocal exchange between two selected exchange students and their families at mutually agreed times and dates.
Exchange Students are matched as far as possible by age and interests. Each student will be fully integrated into the life and activities of their exchange family as a member of the family. All accommodation and meals are provided by the exchange family for the visiting student.
The steps involved:
Dates: Available all year both during School term and school holidays ( Subject to Corona virus status ) Flexible all year. The Irish student travels abroad for a set time and in return hosts the French student in their home in Ireland for the same
length of time. Students travelling to France during the school year in France may attend school with their exchange partner.
Locations in France: Each exchange is individual and our partners receive applications for exchange from many areas of France
including Paris. In addition to their permanent homes many French families have holiday homes which they visit during holiday periods.
Airport Transfers: The student will be met at the Airport on arrival by his or her exchange family, families discuss and agree the meet up
arrangement directly between themselves.
Price: The price for a two way exchange up to 4 weeks long is €350.00 and €500 for 4- 8 weeks. If expenses such as school uniform, school books, school bus tickets etc are likely to arise during the exchange, the parents of the student should pay for these items, and this should be discussed and clearly agreed directly between the families in advance of travel.
