German Exchange

The Ken-Ton German Exchange has been active since the 1980s. Our current practice is to host a group of students from the Frankengymnasium in Zülpich every fall, and will travel to Germany every other spring. While in Germany, students stay with host families, attend school, and participate in field trips to important places in the region, including: The Beethovenhaus in Bonn, the cathedral in Aachen (where Charlemagne was crowned), the city and cathedral of Cologne (which dates back to Roman times), and many other historic and fun sites in the area. We usually also include 2-3 days in Berlin at the beginning or end of the trip. Participating in a student exchange trip abroad can be a life-changing experience! If you have any questions, please contact your German teacher.
