The DFSR headquarters is lively as ever today as we welcome thirty inbound students from all over the world. The students have traveled from Canada, Ecuador, Japan, the USA, Brazil, Mexico, Macedonia, and Italy, and are living at the
DFSR headquarters here in Heppenheim, Germany for two weeks while attending intensive German courses and orientation. After the two weeks, the students will travel throughout the country to meet their host families and start
high school. The orientation period gives the students time to develop a support network, in addition to the one that they already have from DFSR. The students will live in different cities throughout the country, but will always have connections and friendships that they make through this two week
orientation program.
For the next two weeks, the DFSR coordinators have planned exciting outings for the students. In addition to German lessons every day, the students will be able to go swimming, shopping, to the zoo and visit nearby cities such as Heidelberg and Frankfurt. Here are a few photos from the first days of orientation!
