NYSF offers a range of International Program opportunities each year, and applications open early in February after the January Sessions have completed. 2015 session students are encouraged to look at the reports on the NYSF system from previous years’ participants, and seriously consider whether this is something they would like to apply for. Although the costs may seem a lot, the opportunities and benefits are significant, as the reports from students will attest to. But it is something that needs to be discussed with parents, school and families — year 12 is a very busy time.
