Merriconeag Waldorf High School Goes International

It is a big pleasure for the Merriconeag Waldorf High School being a part of international movement. This winter, it is a breaking new ground for Merriconeag’s exchange program on the beginning of December 30 when Liza Simmons and Cyrus Fenderson become their first-ever exchange students to France.

The two students have the opportunity to attend the Ecole Perceval in Chatou, near Paris, for a two-month sojourn then next will host Amelie Martineau and Estelle Douchet this spring. In the addition on the program, as the time they return from the holidays, Benjamin McCrave and his family will host Adrien Strasburger until mid-March at the time that Benjamin and Adrien will travel together back to France, there to attend also the Ecole Perceval until late May.

For three months, Jacob Kolda’s family will be hosting Rafael Schiafone this coming February after which Jacob will fly to Germany towards the end of the school year and spend much of the summer with the Schiafones. Merriconeag Waldorf High School hopes that this flurry of exchanges is only the beginning of ongoing endless opportunities for future generations of Merriconeag high school students to experience the different way of learning with Waldorf School.
