2. Merits of our American Schooling Program
Most English camps held during vacations teach nothing more than ESL classes to a group of international students. However, our American Schooling Program provides students the opportunity to attend regular grade classes in a private christian school, hangout with American friends and spend their time in American households – comparable to the actual experience of studying abroad.
During school hours, the students go to classes with American friends, have lunch, and attend various activities. Home stays are carefully selected American households where students experience authentic American culture while quickly learning necessary English for everyday life and school.
Other than regular school classes there are extra ESL English lessons 4 times a week and regular guidance to homework performance. Such will help boost the students’ English skills.
If the weekdays are focused on regular school and after-school classes, the weekends are definitely open to various activities that are both refreshing and educational. Students visit not only nearby museums but also renowned universities that are famous worldwide. They can then reflect on and redirect their plans for the future. They can also experience farming within the peace of the American countryside or go skiing, the all-time favorite wintertime sport.
This private Christian school is located in an area of high income and educated white Americans., The school supports various activities, notably sports such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, and music both band and choir. Few foreign students attend the school.
