Alter High School offers a unique cultural experience to students in the form of a student exchange. Every year in October, students from Neils Steensen Gymnasium, the only Catholic school in the Nordic countries, attend Alter for approximately three weeks. These students from Copenhagen, Denmark are placed with an Alter host student and their families for the duration of their stay in the United States. These students are able to share common experiences and explore their cultural differences.
Alter is currently working with the administration of NSG to establish the first return trip of our students to NSG! We are working toward scheduling a trip to Copenhagen in Spring 2010. Our goal is to provide Alter students with a combined educational and cultural exchange unlike anything they have experienced before.
Alter students also have the opportunity to experience life in foreign countries on other sponsored trips. Alter students have recently been spotted traveling throughout Guatemala, Spain, France, Italy, Romania and Germany.

Having an exchange student helped open my eyes to the diversity in the
world. It also helped me come to better appreciate opportunities in
America. Ally Stover '09
Having an exchange
student was an eye openintg insight into the perspective off someone
from a different country. His positive and negative observations of
our
society are viewpoints I will never forget.
