A Unique Opportunity
to Expand Your Horizons

The Network of Complementary Schools is an unique organization of twenty-three public and private schools/school systems, located in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, which organizes and sponsors individual student exchanges among member schools.  Each of the schools in the Network  has a program or programs which are unique and unusual.  Students who visit another Network school have an opportunity to explore career options, to  focus on scientific disciplines, to learn more about social  institutions, to pursue artistic interests, and to learn about  different lifestyles and cultures.

YOU CAN!

Generally, the programs offered by Network schools are experientially based or have an intensive academic focus (listed by program,location or by school). Since there is no expectation of a one-for-one exchange, students are able to consider any other Network school. Each member school has a staff member serving as the Network advisor who works closely with students to arrange an individual exchange with another Network school. The Network publishes a brochure each year, called You Can!, which details each member school's offerings. An up-to-date list of these offerings is also available on this website. Individual exchanges can last for as few as two weeks or as many as ten weeks. There is no charge to individual students other than transportation and spending money, and financial aid is available.
