SLHS GAPP
GAPP is a high-school exchange program that links an American and a German high school in a long-term partnership. Its primary purposes are to help students improve their foreign-language skills and to promote mutual cultural understanding. The program is supported and funded by the U.S. and German governments.
In general, a GAPP partnership works as follows: exchanges occur every year or every other year. On the German end, the program is coordinated by a teacher of English, and on the American end, the program is coordinated by a teacher of German. Each of the two schools has 10-20 participating students who are matched with a partner across the Atlantic. In the summer, the American students visit Germany for about 3-4 weeks, attending school and living in the families of their German partners; in the spring, the German students visit the U.S. for 2-3 weeks, also attending school and living in the families of their American partners.
