Boarding Program applicants go to Step 7; Exchange Program applicants continue with Step 4:
- The high school administrator will contact the student to communicate acceptance or refusal of the application, and proceed to help find a 'match' among the TWS students interested in participating in an exchange. The successful applicant will be linked with a selection of approved TWS exchange students so they may to get to know each other and select a good 'match'.
- Once the student selects a partner and communicates the selection to the high school administrator, TWS will send the student a package of information with further details about registering at TWS. This package will include:
a. a contract and invoice, including detailed information on fees
b. the High School Handbook and Course Calendar
- The parents of the exchange student (or whoever is responsible for fees) will sign and return the contract with the required payment detailed in the contract.
Exchange Program applicants continue with Step 10; Boarding Program applicants continue with step 7:
- The high school administrator will contact the student to communicate acceptance or refusal of the application, and proceed to arrange a local host family for the student.
- The student will then receive a package of information with further details about registering at TWS. This package will include:
a. a contract and invoice, including detailed information on fees
b. the High School Handbook and Course Calendar
c. information about the host family with a request to contact them. The host family and visiting student communicate to make final arrangements between themselves.
