Three w international
North America’s leading international student programs

Offering You The World

PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOLS IN
THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA
American Culture

Speaking the language, experiencing the culture and living
in our communities offers insights no textbook ever can

As the world’s “melting pot,” the sprawling country
known as the United States is not just a single culture
but the blending and co-existing of many. When you
live here, you’ll explore what it truly means to be
an American — in all its many forms. You may have
visited before and seen the major landmarks, but
if you want the true North American experience
you have to go beyond the tourist sites. With Three
W International you will live in our communities
where you will make friends, go to school and
learn the language. You will eat our food, laugh at
our jokes and watch world events unfold from a
uniquely American perspective.
education
Creativity is the ability to tackle and
manipulate concepts in new and previously
unthought of ways. But being creative is
more than just being intelligent, it’s partially
a product of one’s culture. North American
culture, and especially its education,
encourages individualism, problem-solving
and the skills necessary to address tomorrow’s problems in
imaginative and innovative ways. A North American education will
give you more than just facts and knowledge, it will teach you to
collaborate with others, to think original thoughts
and to be the kind of innovator that future
employers are looking for.
Characteristics of American Culture
The American mind-set is sometimes hard to understand, and often
contradictory to the culture you come from. By living and learning
in the United States, you’ll understand the unspoken protocols
and cultural preferences that are important in North America. For
example, did you know that Americans prefer a certain amount of
“personal space?” Asking ‘how are you?’ is a
simple greeting and not a question about
your health. Americans smile — a lot. And
when dining out, a tip of 15-20 percent is
usually expected. These are just some of the
things you’ll learn during your time abroad.

National Parks

The Landscape
As the world’s third largest
country, America offers a diverse
and varied landscape. There are
snow-capped mountains and
tropical beaches, bustling
metropolitan cities

and small farming
communities. In each
region you will discover
distinct traditions,
customs and dialects.

American Style

Style
While climate plays a part in how people dress,
American dress is typically casual. Denim jeans,
sneakers and sweatshirts are common for
teenagers.
American Food
There’s no better way
to get to know someone
than to share a meal. One of
the best learning opportunities you’ll enjoy
is dining together in your host family’s home
or in a restaurant. While there are some
foods common to America, such as hot dogs,
hamburgers and pizza, there are also regional
specialties. And since America is a blending of
cultures from around the world, you’re likely to
find dishes from every corner of the globe.
The Arts
No matter where you come from, chances are
you have heard American music and watched
American television. The nation’s media and
movie industries are popular worldwide. But
when you live in the country, you’ll
get a chance to explore
America’s rich theatrical
history, fine arts museums and
diverse music scene as well.
High School in America
American High School culture has many facets
friends
While the ultimate aim of high
school is education, there are a
host of little things that color the
teenage experience -- things that
may seem unfamiliar to foreign
students. To begin with, American
high schools tend to be large, and the
experiences can be just as big. There
is a strong sense of community and
togetherness as well. From football
games to school dances, shopping at
the mall to meeting up with friends,
interaction is key.
American students like to:
Study together. Not only is
	
collaboration important in
	
school, it is also an integral part of
	American business.

are formal occasions and teens often attend them with a date.

admission to the most competitive North American and Canadian Universities.

No matter where you call home in the Northeast, you’re never far from

The Midwest region is made up of a cluster of states
around the five great lakes that border the U.S. and Canada.
European immigrants settled here in the 1800s in search
of better farmland and access to the Atlantic Ocean. Today,
the Midwest is a cultural crossroads made up of those first
waves of Western Europeans and many other nationalities
that soon followed. Midwesterners are known for being

very genuine, friendly and straight-forward. Generally
conservative, the people here value family, friends and
hard work.
As America’s “heartland,” the Midwest region is full
of extremes. It’s a place of skyscrapers and grain
silos, farms and factories. There are endless miles of
flat farmland and major cosmopolitan cities such as
Chicago and Detroit. What unites the region, despite
its diversity, is a strong sense of character and the
genuineness of people who don’t feel the need to be
anyone other than exactly who they are.

More than any other region of the United States, the south has an
identity all its own. Southerners are proud of their heritage, their
comforting cuisine and even the “drawl” of their slow-spoken
dialects. From bustling cities to rural suburban areas, the south
possesses an abundance of history and a kind of gentility that
doesn’t exist in other parts of the country.

Due to its pleasant climate, America’s southern region
is made for outdoor play. There are plenty of beaches,
from Florida’s coast to the low-country towns of the
Carolinas. The region also offers countless paths to
hike, rivers to swim and mountains to climb. Whether
you’re exploring Nashville’s country scene or the

“Go West, young man,” is a quote by an American author about
the country’s westward expansion. As the last region of the
United States to be settled, California and the other states of the
West have their own distinct cultures and influences. There are
redwood forests with trees that seem to touch the sky, rollerskating co-eds on Venice Beach and the mighty Sierra-Nevada
Mountains. From cities to desserts, movie sets to casinos, the west
is as diverse as the stars on Hollywood Boulevard.

The West

Where an Adventurous Spirit
finds a Home
Western United States of America

The West Coast/California
From your home on the west coast, you can explore the
technology of California’s silicone valley or take up surfing,
visit Great Basin National Park or explore the hippie
counter-culture of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district.
You’ll find the climate to be sunny, the scenery to be beautiful and
people who are open and tolerant of
everyone.

Northeast Private Schools Offer Top Education

  • 1. Three w international North America’s leading international student programs Offering You The World PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA
  • 2. American Culture Speaking the language, experiencing the culture and living in our communities offers insights no textbook ever can As the world’s “melting pot,” the sprawling country known as the United States is not just a single culture but the blending and co-existing of many. When you live here, you’ll explore what it truly means to be an American — in all its many forms. You may have visited before and seen the major landmarks, but if you want the true North American experience you have to go beyond the tourist sites. With Three W International you will live in our communities where you will make friends, go to school and learn the language. You will eat our food, laugh at our jokes and watch world events unfold from a uniquely American perspective. education Creativity is the ability to tackle and manipulate concepts in new and previously unthought of ways. But being creative is more than just being intelligent, it’s partially a product of one’s culture. North American culture, and especially its education, encourages individualism, problem-solving and the skills necessary to address tomorrow’s problems in imaginative and innovative ways. A North American education will give you more than just facts and knowledge, it will teach you to collaborate with others, to think original thoughts and to be the kind of innovator that future employers are looking for. Characteristics of American Culture The American mind-set is sometimes hard to understand, and often contradictory to the culture you come from. By living and learning in the United States, you’ll understand the unspoken protocols and cultural preferences that are important in North America. For example, did you know that Americans prefer a certain amount of “personal space?” Asking ‘how are you?’ is a simple greeting and not a question about your health. Americans smile — a lot. And when dining out, a tip of 15-20 percent is usually expected. These are just some of the things you’ll learn during your time abroad. National Parks The Landscape As the world’s third largest country, America offers a diverse and varied landscape. There are snow-capped mountains and tropical beaches, bustling metropolitan cities and small farming communities. In each region you will discover distinct traditions, customs and dialects. American Style Style While climate plays a part in how people dress, American dress is typically casual. Denim jeans, sneakers and sweatshirts are common for teenagers. American Food There’s no better way to get to know someone than to share a meal. One of the best learning opportunities you’ll enjoy is dining together in your host family’s home or in a restaurant. While there are some foods common to America, such as hot dogs, hamburgers and pizza, there are also regional specialties. And since America is a blending of cultures from around the world, you’re likely to find dishes from every corner of the globe. The Arts No matter where you come from, chances are you have heard American music and watched American television. The nation’s media and movie industries are popular worldwide. But when you live in the country, you’ll get a chance to explore America’s rich theatrical history, fine arts museums and diverse music scene as well.
