The Natick-Swiss Exchange is a goodwill ambassador program that builds friendship between people and nations. Each fall, Swiss students and their teachers live with Natick students for 12 days. The following spring, Natick students visit Switzerland and live with their Swiss family. Students on both sides of the exchange participate in school sponsored field trips to learn more about the other country. Swiss field trips include a walking tour of Basel and neighboring France and Germany, visits to a chocolate factory, glass factory, ancient Roman ruins, cathedrals and government buildings, a train ride to the Swiss Alps and a walk inside a glacier.

All incoming Juniors and Seniors are welcome to apply to the program. There is no prerequisite course or club. The Swiss exchange program encourages respect and understanding for others without distinction as to race, religion, gender or social status.

We are looking for juniors and seniors who would like to participate in the 2011-2012 exchange.
