Our 2006 Summer Program (July 26th-August 19th) promises to be a quality experience, enhancing the skills needed for today's global citizen. Each weekday morning, students will attend English language classes, where they will work with native English-speaking mentors. English language instruction will consist of teacher-directed classroom instruction, coupled with sessions of computer assisted instruction in state-of-the-art computer labs. All English-language instruction will be held on the beautiful campus of Santiam Christian School. Afternoons will be spent on the campus of Oregon State University participating in recreation activities while learning how to relate cross-culturally in diverse, informal settings. Students will enjoy a quality, safe home stay experience with families trained to relate cross-culturally. Host families will provide a caring environment, and will immerse program participants in all facets of American family life, strengthening English skills and broadening the students worldview. Students will come away from the home stay experience with a greater appreciation for another culture and a recognition of the diversity of our increasingly interdependant society. All host families have been through a thorough screening/training process in order to provide the best possible experience for your child!
