Here in Ottawa, Canada the high schools facilitate a co-op program. I do not believe we have hosted a student for a while but when I did a stint as Archaeological Registrar we had at least 2 grade 11 students on site.
To see more of what the Ottawa-Carletong District School Board offers, fo to:
http://www.ocdsb.edu.on.ca/schools.htm
Select NEW! 2006-2007 Secondary School Courses (PDF) from the side bar menu and review Cooperative Education which starts at page 131 in the document.
Hoping this helps with the establishment of a program.

|Subject: high school volunteers
|
|
|All,
|
|Along with my request for assistance with developing a
|high school internship program, I would also be
|interested in learning how museums procure high school volunteers. How
|does your volunteer program/policy differ for high school age
|volunteers? Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
|
|Thanks,
|Anne

|Two questions for everyone in Museumland:
|
|Can anyone provide some guidance on the development of
|a high school internship program? I'm guessing we
|would need to meet with the school's principal or
|guidance counselor to set something up. If you have
|had high school interns in the past at your
|institution, when did they actually put in hours?
|During the summer or on Saturdays? Any advice?
|
|Also, we've been considering using magnetic paint in
|our exhibit galleries. I've been told that larger art
|museums in the U.S. use this method. Has anyone had
|any success with it? I'd be interested to hear some
|real-world experiences.
|
|Thanks,
|Anne
