As a student in the program,students truly have the best of both worlds.The college
campus offers a wide array of activities that our students can join.In addition to the
campus programs.The Academy staff plans an array of big and small events,
cultural and social activities and trips just for our own students.Some monthly
activities include:potlucks,beach parties,gamedays,etc.
The first week after arriving at the host family students will receive a thorough and
fun filled orientation week.We understand that a lot of the administrative setup
getting students ready for classes can be both exciting and boring.We plan an
entire week of games and trips while mixing in all that is necessary to get student life
started.They will get to see San Diego,set up bank accounts and cell phones,get
classes scheduled and tour the campus.This week is important academically but
socially as it is the best time to forge friendships and build our community!
Students are also taken for trips to Disneyland and/or Universal Studios,the San
Diego Zoo or overnight camping.For students on a college transfer path,we plan a
college tour through parts of California and have even taken some students to other
states.Lastly,our high school students do not miss out on typical high school events.
for those graduating.they have the option of attending 'Grad Night'at Disneyland
for a late night,high school student ONLY experience.
