A full day of Atlanta-area activities is planned for all Pre-College students on Saturdays. Sundays are typically more relaxed days with many optional activities available.
Students must have above average to advanced English language proficiency (writing and speaking) and be at least 15 years old.
This program also offers international high school students the unique opportunity to interact with U.S. Pre College students during evening and weekend activities
In addition, this program provides a strong linguistic support component (reading and listening comprehension, developing speaking skills), which is built into the daily course schedule and a series of co-curricular activities that relate to and support the materials discussed in class.
Using a rigorous set of readings, lectures, discussions and experiences, the course will offer an introduction to American culture in general and to American college culture more specifically.
This course gives students from around the world who are considering an American college education the opportunity to enroll in an American college-level course and to explore the many opportunities and learning experiences an American college education offers.
