International Exchange Opportunity for Year 10 in 2027

MLC School is pleased to offer Year 10 students in 2027 the opportunity to take part in a reciprocal six-week international exchange. Students may be matched with a student from Bridge House School in Franschhoek, South Africa, Woodridge College in South Africa, or Fountain Valley School in Colorado Springs, USA.

The MLC School student will travel overseas in July, and her exchange partner will come to Australia in November.

An exchange program enriches a student’s education by extending learning beyond the classroom. Living with a host family and attending school overseas gives students a deeper understanding of another culture and helps them grow as informed, engaged global citizens.

Students also develop important life skills such as resilience, independence and adaptability. These experiences often shape future study and career aspirations and are highly valued by employers as evidence of initiative and maturity.

Above all, the program offers students the chance to build lasting friendships, broaden their perspective and embrace the opportunities of living in a global community. It reflects MLC School’s commitment to developing confident, capable young women who are ready to contribute positively to the world.

Parents and students can access further information, including application details and key dates, through the information provided by MLC School. We encourage families to read the material carefully before submitting an application.

Students who apply will be invited to take part in an interview and a selection process that considers their academic progress, behaviour, and participation in school life. This process helps ensure that students chosen for the program are well placed to represent MLC School and make the most of the exchange experience.
