WEP is an international educational organization that brings together a team around a common passion: the passion of discovering the world.
Since 1988, the international organization WEP, with branches in Poland and six other countries, offers a wide range of foreign education options, helping families find the best school exchange program in 14 countries on 5 continents and in 7 languages. From the first meeting (in person or online), WEP guides its clients through the entire process - program selection, application, pre-departure prep, and monitors the foreign student’s wellbeing. WEP also offers training, meetings and workshops for families and teachers as well as educational materials.
Central to your child's school experience is the underlying curriculum taught in the classroom. "Curriculum" refers to both what is taught and how it's taught. When considering the different curricula outlined in the next few pages, keep in mind that few schools fall neatly into one category or another. Most schools' curricula comprise a blend of best practices drawn from multiple curriculum types. Having said that, most schools do have a general overall curriculum type. These are identified for each school on OurKids.net.

Formal adjustments are made to the delivery of lessons to help mitigate the learning difficulty or exceptionality. The underlying content and expectations remain unchanged with accommodations, however. (Example: allowing a student to write tests in a quieter room). | Modifications The underlying content and expectations are modified and/or simplified for the sake of the student. (Examples: allowing student to use a calculator on a test when other students can’t; allowing students to bring word-banks or “cheat sheets” into certain tests, etc) | Remediation Research-based therapeutic measures that target and ameliorate the underlying weakness. |
