Student Exchange Program

Hawthorne Valley High School has an active student exchange program. Since the high school began more than 20 years ago, many tenth and eleventh graders have elected to experience Waldorf education—for periods from three months to one year—in other countries, including Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, and Peru. By participating in this program, Hawthorne Valley students not only develop fluency in another language but also gain a direct experience of another culture.

In addition, our students, their families—in fact, our entire school community—have been enriched by having our foreign exchange students attend Hawthorne Valley School.
