results by providing students with the practical tools necessary for long-term success..

tor’ is diminished; and behavioral strategies that permit a smooth transition into a new social mi-
lieu and empathic, mutual acceptance of cultural differences.
Providing a solid pre-entry foundation.

More than a simple ‘induction’ program.
We have found that in too many cases students entering the United Kingdom for the
first time fail to maximize the life changing import of their school experience due to a
lack of information and specific preparation leaving them overwhelmed by the demands
of their new life and ill-equipped and unable to profit from the educational opportunity
provided.
The Workshop seeks to address the root cause of this problem by bridging the ‘integration gap’;
the distance between what the student knows and what the school expects in terms of their
preparation to enter their new school.
This process unlocks student potential, and culminates in improved academic performance and
deeper personal enrichment.

The Total Perspective Approach
Workshop and Round-table
The workshop format test the application of these strategies, ensuring students mas-
ter methodologies that will trigger full engagement and maximum effort. A summary
session at the end of each day reviews the day’s learning. Finally, a capstone round-ta-
ble at the end of the program, to which parents are invited, complements class ses-
Innovative and Vibrant Teaching Methodology
Class sessions are designed to present leading edge content that guides and assists in
addition to ‘teaching and preparing.’ The interactive teaching methodology centers on
the practical application of the knowledge and skills students acquire during class time.
Targeted course materials that utilize case studies, role playing, and discussion – rather
than simply packaging and presenting information – initially introduce new concepts
and thinking, then present novel situations so that students can demonstrate their
ability to apply and adapt knowledge. This provides a platform from which students
can launch a concerted effort to orchestrate these elements into a cohesive response
to the challenges they will face.
‘Total Perspective’ – A Unique Approach

of the entire educational and personal experience that awaits in the United Kingdom
Success in the British independent school system depends on effectively combining
myriad elements; socio-cultural, academic and institutional, and personal.
The Workshop’s unique ‘total perspective’ approach reflects this essential principle.
“Innovative course structure and
highly relevant, practical class content.”

“Students will learn to access and master
the skills necessary for success.”
Designed to improve academic performance.
By the end of the course, your child will be well equipped to avail himself/herself of what
the school has to offer, accept their responsibilities, and flourish both academically and
personally.
Day 1 – Check-in and Registration
On registration day, Students travel from their point of entry to the Workshop lo-
cation. They are met by the staff and checked into housing. After check-in, students
attend a welcome reception and then a welcome dinner. During the dinner students
will hear a short introduction about what to expect during the intensive two days of
coursework.
Day 2 – Focus on Pre-Entry Foundation Phase
In the pre-entry foundation phase, the Workshop instructor will focus on motivating
students to accept personal responsibility for their success.
This requires that students understand the importance of (a) appreciating the out-
standing opportunity for educational and personal growth that they have been of-
fered and (b) fulfilling all expectations emanating from a number of standpoints –
socio-cultural, academic and institutional, and personal development.
Day 3 – Focus on Post-Entry Integration Phase
In the post-entry integration phase, students master the knowledge, skills, and tools
they will need to integrate once school has started; and to take full advantage of what
their particular school has to offer. Students are then equipped to reap the academic
rewards of their commitment.

“Fulfilling Expectations – A Critical Result
of the ‘Total Perspective’ Approach.”
Innovative and Vibrant Teaching Methodology
The Workshop acts as a catalyst to trigger students’ ability to become full
participants in their education. Students learn to make the ‘system’ work for
them, undaunted by its unfamiliarity and seeming complexity; by taking control of
the system, they take control of their learning.
The flow-on effect of the ‘total perspective’ approach is that all expectations –
socio-cultural, academic and institutional, and personal – are fulfilled through
full engagement and maximum effort. Students retain their individuality, and are
accepted as valuable – and valued – contributors to the school community and to
society at large.
The Workshop offers unmatched access to the privileged insights of a highly qualified
instructor with direct, relevant experience of the British independent school system.
The Workshop Leader and instructor is Dr. Boris Porkovich.
Dr. Porkovich has spent over 30 years in education worldwide and has a strong background
in all aspects and levels of international education, across a range of systems and learning
environments. He possesses firsthand practical experience monitoring, mentoring, tutoring,
and supporting students of varying ages in countries around the world.

“The course achieved great success
when it was offered in Malvern, U.K.”
Engaged both parents and students.
“Parents were impressed with the thoroughness of the instruction, and the
quality of the supporting materials. Parents remarked at how much their
children enjoyed the course and how much more confident and happy their
child was about going to their new school.”
Dr. Boris Porkovich, Instructor and Programme Developer
Eridux Education offered the Integration Workshop in Malvern, U.K. in the summer of 2016.
Students attending ranged in age between 10 and 16; and came from Hong Kong, Shanghai,
Myanmar, and other locations to enter Rugby, Malvern St. James, The Elms, Shrewsbury, and
Repton colleges. Students stayed with host families in the area and also in the hotel with
their parents. The Workshop was a great success, and student and parent feedback was
overwhelmingly positive.
Further, we have tracked student’s progress since completing the Workshop and all of them
have been successfully integrated into their new school life—and are thriving. Indeed, they
have requested additional courses in 2016 and throughout 2017.
