Summer Exchange Opportunities from June to July 2017
Exchanges provide Cate students an immersive intercultural experience. Because of the hemispheric nature of school calendars, Cate students go on exchanges during our summer vacation when our Round Square partner schools are in session. For the price of an airline ticket, international health insurance, sometimes a visa fee, and spending money, your daughter or son will spend 4 weeks or more as a welcomed guest of another culture.
Application Procedure: The application deadline is February 27. Students must submit their written statement, teacher, dorm head and advisor recommendations AND have parent permission by February 27.
