New International Students Join the WLHS Family
For the 2023-24 school year, we welcome 30 new international students to the WLHS family, coming from the following countries: Czech Republic, Iran, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan, and Spain.
New international students at WLHS receive a comprehensive orientation to prepare them for success in their new school environment. This includes training sessions about many aspects of the school and dorm (or homestay) life, as well as receiving an American mentor student in their first year for peer support to get integrated into a new school culture. The students also enjoy getting to see local sites including the annual Wisconsin State Fair and a Milwaukee city highlights tour.
Many parents also accompanied the new international students to Milwaukee, and WLHS had a Family Welcome Program for these special visitors. The event included a school tour, various sessions to learn about academic and residential life, and a city tour of Milwaukee including a boat cruise for a unique view of the city.
We wish all 65 of our international students a blessed school year. We give thanks to God that you are part of our school family!
