International Students Program
Breck International Program has welcomed students from all over the world into the Upper School student body for over three decades. The objective of the program is to increase the understanding and awareness in the foreign student of American people, culture and values, and in the Breck students of the culture and values of the guest students as well as to provide an opportunity to widen circles of friendship.
Our international students mostly choose to graduate from Breck and attend college in the United States. All international students live with local host families who are, in most cases, parents who have a child or children currently attending Breck.
This unique experience allows our international students an opportunity to participate in a culture different from their own on a daily basis. During the student’s attendance at Breck, the school continues to follow and assist each international student’s progress.
