Students will take intensive English language classes mixed with college preparatory content, covering material such as how to apply to U.S. colleges and universities, how to write a strong essay, U.S. professors’ expectations around academic work and classroom participation, strategies for taking required standardized tests, and much more. They will experience life on a U.S. college campus for four weeks, living in on-campus residence halls, eating meals in on-campus dining facilities, and socializing with American students.
