Our school has been enriched with all the exchange students that share their culture with us. It helps the students become global ambassadors and wouldn’t be possible without all the families who open their homes and hearts to these students from around the globe. Please visit the resources below for more information about the process of hosting a foreign exchange student in your home while they spend a year at Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School. Contact Ms. Geerts to find out more about how we work with our visiting students throughout the year.
