New Rochelle High School's Bicentennial Year exchange with La Rochelle, France, sent 16 students to La Rochelle and brought 27 La Rochelle students to the American school for three weeks. This program provides a typical example of how a total school program is enriched. The students who traveled to La Rochelle and New Rochelle learned through experience--a country's literature, art, language, customs, food, schools, politics, and style. (Author/MLF)
