Wellesley students return the visit for three weeks in the second semester, also living with families and attending school in Germany. The program has been in existence since 1983. This program is also sponsored jointly by School Partners Abroad. Students at Wellesley High School receive approximately fifteen Spanish students from Bilbao, Spain for a three-week stay. At a mutually convenient time our students travel to Spain to return the visit.
Students live with families, attend classes and become functioning members of the host community.
A three-day field trip to Madrid is also part of the program. Part of each meeting is usually conducted in French. The French Club has a very important role in organizing the schedule for the visiting exchange students from France. Membership is open to all students enrolled in French classes and to all persons interested in France, its civilization and its culture. The alliance is open to all students who wish to examine and eliminate homophobia at the High School.
