GLISP: THE GREEN LAKE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGRAM
Currently Green Lake School District is open five days a week with small face-to-face classes. Please check back often for any updates.
The Green Lake International Student Program (GLISP) at Green Lake High School welcomes international students from around the world who wish to become an essential part of our high school community. International students may participate in a full academic program, sports and other extracurricular activities, and will have the opportunity to earn an American high school diploma. International students may enroll in a regular high school program, take individual International Baccalaureate courses leading to IB certificates, enroll in a first-year full IB Diploma Programme, or continue as a second year student in an IB Diploma Programme begun in their home country.

Green Lake has successfully hosted international students from Austria, Brazil, China, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Uzbekistan and more. The Guidance Department at Green Lake High School provides support and assistance to students and their families prior to their acceptance into the program, and extensively after the student arrives in Green Lake.
Green Lake High School, an International Baccalaureate World School, is committed to providing quality educational opportunities for all our students. In an effort to enrich the local high school community, we opened the doors of the Green Lake International Student Program in the 2012-2013 school year.
Living in a safe community and supportive environment, students will experience everyday life in America’s Heartland, giving them a more balanced understanding of our country. Equally valuable is the contribution international students will make to our students, expanding their minds to the world. More importantly, connections the students make will help build relationships that span the globe and last a lifetime.
"Many exchange students return home with positive impressions of America, and they go on to become leaders in their own countries." ~Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, 2010, extolling the importance of international exchange programs.
