The WLSA East to West Exchange program has been an invaluable part of WLSA since 2012. Welcoming an exchange from a WLSA associate school in China is beneficial in so many ways.
You can share your school’s traditions with a student from another culture and bring the world right to your doorstep.
Give your students the international experience without ever leaving the country. The WLSA East to West Exchange program presents an opportunity for your school to host students for a three week period in January-February from our WLSA associate schools in China.
The program includes:
To ensure an efficient and effective process for the East to West Exchange, as a Host School you will have the following responsibilities:
Students from our WLSA associate schools in China are invited to apply. The selection criteria are both the students’ English level and motivation to participate in the Exchange.
The level of English and motivation are based on the contents of the motivation letter and the outcome of an interview conducted with WLSA staff members fluent in English. This assures that exchange students have an advanced level of English and are placed in an institution that matches with their interests.
You can expect exchange students from 15 to 17 years of age. We do what we can to attract an equal amount of male and female candidates.
"England is my dream country for learning and getting further education. In the exchange program in 2019, what impressed me most is the gentle custom and reasonable way of spreading knowledges in the UK, which encourage me to work hard and get an access to an outstanding British university. My strong desire of becoming one of the British students is gaining momentum. Thanks for the hardworking of WLSA staff, a group of brilliant dream achiever."
"This exchange is a very good experience. It’s a communication between two school, also two culture. Really appreciate about our host school, who had helped us a lot during the whole two week. Me, myself had great time in Webb. I enjoyed it very much and I had made many friends from Webb. I felt both similarities and differences from this trip to Webb. The differences in teaching strategy and course settings. Also some different activities. The similarities are the enthusiasm of students and the patience of teachers. The atmosphere made fell safe and relieved, except the Spanish class because I really can’t understand a word. All in all thank you for prepare all these for us. Hope to see you again."
