Kildare - Lexington Student Exchange Programme returns for 2025

County Kildare has been twinned with Lexington, Kentucky, U.S.A., since 1984

County Kildare has been twinned with Lexington, Kentucky, U.S.A., since 1984. Lexington is a charming city with a population of about 300,000.  One of the most successful aspects of Kildare’s twinning with Lexington has been the annual student exchange, which affords Kildare students the opportunity to spend time in Lexington and to welcome a student into their home in return. 

Kildare County Council’s successful student exchange programme will take place again in 2025, and we are now inviting parents/guardians of interested students to apply.  To start the application process, visit : https://submit.link/2UX.

The closing date for applications is Friday, December 6 2024.

The exchange takes place during the summer holidays with students, from the age of 16, from several schools around Kildare taking part each year.
