International Exchange Programs
Partner Schools
The Lewiston-Porter Central School district is proud to have developed relationships around the world in our thriving and ever-growing International Studies program. We currently have relationships with:
- Tianjin Number Two High School in Tianjin, China
- Valentin Heider Gymnasium in Lindau, Germany
- Ritsumeikan Junior & Senior High School in Kyoto, Japan
- Saint Benoit in Istanbul, Turkey
Our student exchanges are generally two or two and half weeks in length and always include a home stay (where the students stay with a family while they are in the foreign country). The home stay allows for students to get a richer cultural experience while they are away. We then incorporate a small amount of internal travel, usually to the country's capital city, at the end of the exchange trip. Similarly, when student exchange groups come to Lewiston-Porter, we provide a home stay. The groups who come to visit our school in Western New York also try to incorporate travel to either New York City or Washington, DC.
