Visiting Students Programme
|
Applications are now open for the Autumn, Spring and Summer term 2018-2019. Our Visiting Student Programme provides students from Steiner (Waldorf) schools in Europe and further afield to attend our Classes
8, 9, 10, and 11 for one or two terms as well as a whole school year. We aim to have an international group of overseas students and often have students from France, Germany, Holland, Scandinavia or Switzerland. Overseas students are fully integrated into our classes and follow the Steiner School Curriculum used worldwide. The students are helped along by teachers, students and host families, especially at the beginning of their stay. Visiting students often remark on the 'family like' nature of our school (250 pupils in total). A report is issued at the end of every overseas student's stay. |

Hallå.
Välkommen till vår skola. 3. Check the availability below for your chosen term.
Please note that we have usually a limit of four new students who speak any one language in a class each term, so there may sometimes be restrictions on who can apply – this most often affects German speakers. If students have already been at the school for one term or more, they are not counted in the allocation for their language. You can see below who is already booked to come in each term - those who have spent at least one term in our school are listed as 'returning' students. Sometimes we allow people on exchange with our students to come in addition to the visiting student allocation. |
