WHY:
The goal of the exchange program is for the Frenchstudents to observe American culture and educational customs and work on theirEnglish language skills, and for Audubon students to learn about French cultureand language on their visit.  Thestudents will be staying with English speaking Audubon families for 2 weeks.
 
Audubon’s French program is the only school having suchan exchange program. The idea was born in 2014, when Audubon was looking for apartner school in France. A former Director at Audubon, Madame Elfi, was alsolooking to partner with an American school and reached out to Audubon.
 
The French students attend an international school and areexposed to more English Language than any regular school in France. At Audubon,They will be spending about 75% of their time in the Montessori program and 25%in the French program. 
 
The students will be actively participating in allclasses and they will go on several field trips to various places in the citysuch as: the French Quarter, Sector 6, Laura Plantation, Vermillonville and aSwamp tour.
 
When the Audubon students visit Nice, France in October,they will be staying with French families, many in the family of the child theywill be hosting next week.
 
Audubon’s exchange program is in partnership withCollège César and in partnership with the Academy of Nice.  This is the second year this exchangehas taken place.
