International Students
Consistent with our world-view curriculum, International Students are an important part of our TWS High School, for those from other countries as well as our Canadian students. We welcome students who have studied at Waldorf schools in their home countries.

International Experience for TWS students
- Our exchange students adapt well to school in Europe, due to:
- consistency of Waldorf curriculum and teaching methods between Canadian and European Waldorf schools
- French and German language study at TWS
- In Canada and abroad, students
- experience new cultures
- practise and improve foreign language skills
- build life skills
- establish new relationships
- The success of these programs gives our High School an international flavour that aligns well with our world-view curriculum.
