Twenty-five students from Walling School are currently living in France. They are there for three
months as part of a living-abroad project. The 16- and 17-year-old students are living with French
families and attending a French school. Most of the students have taken French language classes for 3 or
4 years and are finally getting an opportunity to use their French.
Not only are students learning a new language, but they are learning about a new culture, too. Students
have been particularly surprised about the French attitude towards food. “They won’t leave anything on
their plate,” says Vanessa Athol. “They aren’t wasteful at all.” Vanessa has vowed to be more careful
with waste when returning to the United States.
The group’s chaperone, Mrs. Smith, has been pleased with the students’ acquisition of language. “Even
the most timid are trying their best to speak. The students are learning a lot. I’m very impressed,” she
said. Mrs. Smith added that she thinks living with a French family makes a difference because students
are forced to speak French. “We are all very grateful to the French families who are hosting us.”
The French families are happy to have the students, as they are getting to leam about American culture.
Both groups will be celebrating the exchange at a large potluck dinner at the end of the stay. There will be
a slide show of memories and the students will speak about their experiences. Currently, the American
students are periodically posting pictures and student essays on the Walling School website. “Living in
France is an experience I’ll never forget,” writes student Tina Davis. “I know I’ll want to eat these
croissants and this Camembert for the rest of my life!”
