Participating in an exchange program is an unforgettable experience for our students! Getting to know another culture, studying an international curriculum, and growing as a person are just some of the benefits of the varied study programs that we offer. As a member of the Council of International Schools (CIS), we want our students to have appropriate cultural and authentic learning experiences so they can develop as global citizens. And as a Glasser Quality School (GQS), we promote social interactions and quality relationships. In addition, we frequently look for new alternatives to strengthen our third language program.
Being an international school, we possess the tools needed to break down linguistic, academic, and social barriers. At Rochester, we educate citizens of the world and prepare them to be successful wherever they may go. Our students become ambassadors of our school and of our country.

“Since 2016, I have had the fortune to attend this program twice as a program chaperone. I’ve been impressed by the camaraderie and support that develops among the children that travel to this camp, regardless of age, just as one would expect from a team of astronauts who take part in a space mission.”
