• Academic Credit

  This program will offer .5 credit that will be officially listed on the student’s transcript and will be used when factoring a student’s cumulative GPA. Please note that the credit offered does not replace any required classes at BC High.
  
  Juniors will also receive service credit for their participation in service initiatives. 

• The Host Family Experience

  Because cultural immersion is such an important part of our exchange program, and in an effort to keep our cost reasonable, our students stay with host families during this exchange program. BC High students who host an exchange student in their home and participate in an international seminar have the most fulfilling experience. For this reason, it is the expectation of all students who hope to travel abroad to serve as a host family. Whenever possible, a BC High student will stay with the family of the student who may have previously stayed in his home. Students from Buenos Aires typically arrive in mid-January and stay for 4 weeks.
