Exchange Partnerships
Forest Park is proud to be a participant in multiple exchanges with schools around the world. In the past few years, this school has had the privilege to house students from Scotland, China, and France. In most cases, the students that provided lodging for the exchange students choose to travel back and stay with the corresponding family in their country. It is not only a way to further education about other cultures and countries, but is an experience that will last with the students forever.
