Current Grade 8 and 9 Students

Any time of the year but depends on host country/school, requirements and UWCSEA school commitments (Except UWCSEA OutdoorEd Trip dates)

Depending on the country and school agreements, but between 2-6 weeks.

You pay your own flights, travel insurance, pocket money and a exchange fee of minimum 300 SGD (depending on the country)

UWCSEA RS team shares the candidates profiles with the schools that may have available spots. Both schools then agree on the best matches and after that UWCSEA students can accept or reject the offer. Unfortunately, it's not easy to match gender, age, school preferences... so we expect some flexibility, otherwise the chances are very limited (the experience can be very similar anywhere, except for languages)
