Student Exchange Program
The mission of PTP-Sheboygan Chapter is to promote the study of other languages. For this purpose 40 years ago, we organized a 5-month student exchange with Esslingen, Germany, Sheboygan's first sister city. Over 300 students from Sheboygan and Esslingen have participated in this exchange. The far-reaching effects of this program can be felt by talking to almost any of the many young people who have taken part in it. Students arrive from Esslingen the middle of July and return middle of December. The Sheboygan County students arrive in Esslingen in February and return in July.
Application - Germany
We now offer a 3-week summer exchange program for middle school students. Students from Sheboygan travel to Esslingen in July and return home in August with their Esslingen partner. Our hope is that the short term exchange will encourage the student to prepare for the 5-month exchange in High School. View
Application - Middle School Student
 Five years ago we expanded our Student Exchange Program to Cordoba, Argentina. Many students in Sheboygan County study the Spanish language in middle and high school and we felt it was important to provide a cultural and language immersion opportunity. Each year students will arrive from Cordoba, Argentina in August and attend school until they return to their homes in January. Sheboygan County students will live in Cordoba from February to July. Applications for both Esslingen, Germany and Cordoba, Argentina student exchange programs are accepted from July 1 - December 1.
