Program Overview

Congratulations on your pursuit in learning English as a second language, or for many of you, as a third or fourth language. According to one almanac, English is spoken by over 470 million people across the globe, and it is the official language of over 45 countries. In many countries, knowing how to speak and write English increases your chances of getting a higher-paying job. Whether it is for these reasons or others, your desire to study the English language is a worthwhile one.

Our program is unique in the following ways:

All international students are matriculated immediately and enrolled in regular elementary, middle school or high school courses.
An English SDAIE (sheltered English) class is offered in the high school for all English Language Learners who need preparation before going into the mainstream English classes.
A Fundamentals of Christian Faith class will be offered to incoming international students in the secondary level (need based).
Current U.S. immigration regulations allow students who study at a private high school to remain longer in the United States than at a public high school. Thus, a student can potentially complete all four years of high school study at our school and receive an American high school diploma.
Students have access to an International Student Resource Center, where they can speak to a counselor, receive academic support, use resources available to them, or just have quiet study time.
Teachers receive training throughout the year on strategies to best help international students in the classroom.
Host families receive support and training sessions throughout the year on how to get the most out of their hosting experience, and how best to manage different situations that may arise in the home.
Students have access to a wide variety of sports, music, and art programs available at our school.

Although 欧博体育 does not offer a home stay program, students in need of a host family may contact the program director for a list of potential families that have been screened and approved by our school.
The average 欧博体育平台 student tests two years ahead of the national average.
欧博体育平台 is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant students by issuing I-20 forms in grades kindergarten through 12th. 欧博体育 does not accept new students in their senior year of high school (12th grade).
Students in elementary can enter the school year at any time. Secondary students must enroll at the beginning of a semester. The school year runs from late August to early June.
To ensure that the international students are immersed in the culture and have an American school experience, we limit the amount of international students in each grade level.
After-school support is available for all grades and is included in the program fee.
Courses are taught by highly qualified teachers. Students have access to a wide variety of sports, music, and art programs available at our school.
The program includes three planned, day-long social outings in Southern California, for grades 7th - 12th, to help experience American culture.
Our location alone makes for a unique experience. We are located in beautiful Thousand Oaks, approximately an hour's drive from Disneyland and Universal Studios, and scenic beaches like Malibu and Santa Barbara. It's a beautiful suburban environment, fully accessible to many of the cultural opportunities of Southern California.
