• School Vacations/Residence Closing

  The student residential program will be closed for the two-week vacation at Christmas and one-week Spring Break. Some students visit home, while others visit a relative in the U.S. If the student wishes, an area home-stay is available for those vacations. The school will assist in arranging this for a fee of $400 for the two-week Christmas break and $200 for the one-week spring break. This money should be submitted to WLHS prior to the school break and will be given by the school to the home-stay family at the end of the break. 

  
  Please note: This fee is not included in the tuition and program fees.

• Scholarships

  International scholarships are based upon individual need. Contact the Director of International Student Program, Eric Duwe at international@wlhs.org for more information.
