News from various Valley schools and students.

Students can study abroad

Qualified high school students are invited to spend an academic year

or summer in Europe, Asia, North and South America, New Zealand,

Australia or South Africa as part of the World Heritage exchange program.

Students ages 15 to 18 years old are eligible and will be chosen

based on their academic performance, character references and desire to

experience life abroad with a volunteer host family.

World Heritage also provides opportunities for families to host

international students who will attend the local high school for an academic year.

For more information, call Keith at (206) 726-9230 or Mary at
