My son was just accepted yesterday by Rotary for an exchange next year. Although it is not guaranteed quite yet, it looks like he will go to Germany.

Brian was a sophomore last year and applied for early graduation so that he would have senior status this year and be allowed to take the required American Government class. He will still need to take senior English in summer school, but will walk graduation in May and can enjoy his exchange with no worries about fulfilling the requirements to graduate here. He has also gotten to enjoy the recognition of being a senior, so he won’t feel like he missed out on the best year of high school.

We are thrilled with the organization and support the Rotary organization supplies, not to mention the lower cost. I would highly recommend it, though it may be a little late now for kids wanting to go next year if they haven’t yet applied.
