Russian Exchange for HS Students

[Sergej Buchholz]

This summer, NorthWest Student Exchange (NWSE) offers high school students
of Russian and high school-aged Russian heritage speakers an affordable way
to improve their Russian language skills while living with a host family in
Russia and attending an intensive Russian language course.

By stepping beyond the role of a tourist and participating in everyday life,
students have the opportunity to build friendships and gain valuable
insights into Russian culture.

The NWSE program in Vladimir, a medium-sized 1000-year old Russian city
located 120 miles northeast of Moscow, costs about half of what most other
organizations charge and includes:

-       A three-week homestay with a carefully screened Russian
        family in Vladimir (breakfast and dinner provided)
-       Intensive Russian language instruction
-       Additional hands-on Russian lessons outside the classroom
        (e.g. in stores, the marketplace, and public transportation)
-       Two-night stay in Moscow with excursions (including train
        tickets and meals)
-       Insurance
-       Local excursions and activities (including excursion to Suzdal)
-       Ongoing support from NWSE’s partner organization in Vladimir
        (including 24-hour emergency phone number)
-       Airport transfers between Moscow and Vladimir
-       Health Insurance
-       Pre-Departure and Post-Arrival Orientations
-       Visa support (including official invitation)
