COUNTRY: USA / New Jersey
TOWN: Bergenfield / Bergen County (Northern part of NJ
not far from New York City)
NAME: Dr. Charles
SEX/AGE: Students are both male and female high school 14-18
ACCOMMODATION: Students would stay with parents of BHS students
LOCATION: North Jersey about 7 miles North and West of the
George Washington Bridge
MAX GUESTS: from 10 to 20
MAX LENGTH: about 2 weeks
EXPENSES: Host families would provide most meals at both ends of
the exchange. Transportation provided by hosts at
each end the same as for own children. Major
transportation (air fare, busses, etc) the
responsibility of guest.
EXPECTATIONS: It is expected that the visiting students become
a part of the family for a short time and live
the culture, attend some classes, share their
culture with the students of BHS. Sightseeing
in the NYC area is possible and encouraged.
Specifics can be worked out through e-mail
LANGUAGES: The school teaches Spanish, French, German, Italian and
Latin. However we just did an exchange with a school
from Austria and none of the students spoke any German.
Proficiency levels are from 1 to 5 years of study in
the languages mentioned above.
THE HOST: I am looking for a class, or students from the same
school, that would like to conduct an exchange program
with my students for a short, about 2 week, period of
time. The time here can be 2-3 weeks but the time
there should not exceed 2 weeks. Bergenfield is
a suburban community with about 25,000 population.
It is close to NYC and frequent mass transport to the
city is possible. Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and
Boston are also within driving range. Our students
have hosted students from Italy and Austria for short
time periods during the last two school years. They
are looking forward to doing the same next year.
