Each year, the exchange involves thirty students, aged 16 to 18. In spring of 1998, Epernay will come to Appleton, and in spring of 1999, Appleton goes to Epernay. American high school students who have had at least two years of French instruction participate in an exchange with St. Jean students in Premiere and Terminal. The students from St. Jean come in the fall, and Milwaukee students go to France in the spring.
All students attend at least a week of classes in respective schools.
