xxxx X xxxxWizarding Schools Exchange Programxxxx X xxxx
In an effort to strengthen the international wizarding community and promote the exchange of different forms of magic, the International Confederation of Wizards started an exchange program between the magical schools around the world. Via this program, senior students in good standing can take a year to experience and learn at one of the other wizarding schools or host a foreign student.
The program runs for one school year. Accepted students will be hosted by a student in their year in the destination school and may, if desired, stay with them over the preceding summer.
The Offices of the Student Exchange Program are a small annex located in Hogsmeade village.
xxxX Basic Requirementsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Students must be in their 6th or 7th year of magical study for the year of travel. Seventh years will take their final exams (NEWTs or equivalent) at the guest school. All students need parental permission and approval from their Head of House to apply.
Students must have passed (A or higher) any classes they plan to continue or take at the other school.
Special considerations will be made regarding the destination school they want to attend (See Special considerations below)
Prior to the departure date, students must take a basic language class for the local language of their destination OR pass an exam in conversational and academic language.
Representatives of the school must find a student at the destination school to host (PC or NPC. The Exchange Program Office can assist with this).
Applications are due in April of the year students hope to leave. Interviews and approvals will be conducted by mid-May, but may be pending OWL scores.
