Colorado Springs School's Homestay Program

2008-06-17 11:10:09

The Colorado Springs School believes that diversity is essential in the development of lifelong understandings that serve a global society. Because of the global environment in which we live today and the experiential nature of ths school's program, international young men and women have chosen to attend The Colorado Springs School to pursue their educational goals. The school aims to sustain a school community where the human differences present in school and society are acknowledged and appreciated. Diversity is indispensable to the school as it builds knowledge, understanding, and respect for various people groups, ideas, and cultures.

The goal of the CSS Homestay program is to provide a caring, supportive, home-away-from- home environment for international students while they encounter the same academic and social challenges as their American peers. We also believe that immersing foreign students in the experience of American culture enhances their ability to be successful in the rapidly expanding global marketplace. At the same time, they richly contribute to the total educational experience of the American students enrolled in our rigorous college preparatory, experience-based curriculum.

Homestays are unique and rewarding experiences for the international student, host family, and the entire community at CSS. Participating in the Homestay Program creates lifelong skills for successful communication within a diverse community and serves to further international understanding.

The school's three and a half week Experience-Centered Seminars, offered each spring, provide further opportunities for both our American and International students to study together in our community, out of state, or in a foreign country and increase their global understandings.
