French Exchange Program
2025-2026
Embedded Files
We are thrilled to welcome back the students from the Institut Notre-Dame, a private Catholic school in Meudon, France!
Metro Christian Academy shares a long history with the program's director, Arnaud Dreville. After many years, we are excited to have his students once again walk our halls and stay with Metro families. This time, our partnership is extra special, as we will also have the opportunity to send our own students to visit their campus in Meudon, France!
As Mr. Dreville says, "Our school has a strong commitment to providing our students with a well-rounded education, and we believe that international exposure plays a vital role in fostering their personal growth, intercultural understanding, and global citizenship."
Fifteen French high school students will be here from April 15th to May 1st, 2026. During their 16-day visit, they will attend classes at Metro for a few days each week and spend the rest of the time experiencing the best of Tulsa and the surrounding area.
To make this exchange a success, we are seeking 15 host homes for these high school students.

Your Family's Next Great Adventure!
Host an Exchange Student!
Ready to inject some global excitement and unforgettable memories into your family's routine?
Hosting an exchange student isn't just a duty—it's your chance to embark on a cross-cultural adventure right from your living room! By opening your heart and home, you help fulfill a young person's dream while inviting a new perspective, new traditions, and new stories into your life.
This is a phenomenal way for your entire family to share the best of your culture while gaining a personal, inside look at another part of the world. Imagine the fun of teaching them your family's favorite traditions and learning a few of theirs in return!
Get ready to forge a deep, lasting connection that bridges continents. This shared experience creates bonds that extend well beyond the exchange dates, enriching everyone involved and giving your family a new member (and a destination for future travels!). Don't just watch the world from afar—bring the world home!
