We are Guillaume Monnier and Thierry Salaün, physics and chemistry teachers in a school in Cesson Sévigné (France)
We teach in english for students who want to learn sciences in english, in a “european section”
We are looking for a long term partnership between our high school and a high school in your country.
During this school year, we have made an exchange with 2 schools in Baton Rouge (Episcopal High School and Central High School)
The French teacher in charge of the exchange in central will get married and move, so she can’t organize the exchange anymore
Nevertheless, Episcopal High School will continue the exchange with us (the feedback from Spree McDonald and Hugh McIntosh are extremely positive)
The contact in the school is :
Julien Prévost
World Languages Department Chair
Teacher of French Upper School
French Exchange Coordinator
The Episcopal School of Baton Rouge
3200 Woodland Ridge Boulevard
Baton Rouge, LA 70816
(225) 753-3180 x 1428
The project is launched, and has already been a great success (We were 10days in Baton Rouge in october 2017, and we have hosted the Episcopal and Central students during 2weeks in february)
The program for Baton Rouge in france is as following (you can also see it in the link) :
– 1 day trip to Caen (D-day museum, 1 cimetery, 1 beach)
Everything is organized the same day by the museum
– 1 day in St Malo and Mt St Michel
– 1 day to visit Rennes (historical visit of the old city) with a typical british evening (food, music, danses…)
– 1 day to visit the science university in Rennes and eventualy a factory
– and some days at school to attend lessons, to share with students…
Of course, week ends are with families
Baton Rouge was engaged in the project with some 20 students
But, we have 48 students in our school
So, we have sent 24 students in episcopal, and 24 in Central
As Central will not be able to continue,, we are looking for a new High school able to host 24 students
Our project is once every 2 years
As we have realised the exchange during the school year 2017/2018, we will make the next exchange during 2019/2020
Our project is to receive as guests the foreign students, and to be hosted by our pen friends in The USA. This project is wanted to be a durable and long term partnership between our colleges.
