International Students ESL International students are warmly welcomed into the Accelerated Schools community and are encouraged to apply. Educational trips that teach ESL. Our educational tours and field trips explore hundreds of historical and geological sites. Field trip participation adds a "hands-on" opportunity to learn American language and culture. Several field trips are scheduled each week. The only common language used is English. Students prepare notes prior to the trip and take notes during the trip. Students and teachers discuss the tour features in the vans, and students write papers the next day in English based on their trip experience. -------------------------------- INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS MAKE MAJOR GAINS ESL students at Accelerated Schools make notable academic progress as measured by nationally recognized standardized tests in reading, language and math. Since 1991, students starting above the 3.5 grade level averaged 32 hours to accomplish a one year gain in the three subject areas. Students starting below the 3.5 grade level averaged 54 hours per grade gain. These dramatic advances were accomplished with the Accelerated Language Programs pioneered at Accelerated Schools. Accelerated Language features multiple exposures to curriculum materials, intensive teacher and peer support, plus a strong motivational program. ESL students average more than 3000 pages of writing in English per year. Fluency in spoken English is hard to measure, but observers and students have been happily surprised at the high level of English fluency our ESL students can demonstrate after a few months. ------------------------------- PARTIAL LIST OF AFTERNOON FIELD TRIPS, COURSE OFFERINGS AND CREDIT EARNED: Individualized Science Labs - Science Computer Science - Various College Prep - Various ACT SAT Prep - Various Art - Art Appreciation Independent Study - Various Spanish, French, Chinese - Language Sports, Snow Skiing - P.E.

We prefer placement with a "host family" who can provide valuable attention and some social activities for the student. The supportive family environment provided by our substitute parents has proven most effective for our students. The families we recommend have been screened and trained to support our positive reinforcement program. Some substitute families have other children in their homes or have already reared their children. This gives them a valuable perspective for dealing with our students. Students are treated as members of the substitute family and are responsible for the care of their own private room. They are expected to keep reasonable hours for their age group and follow tailored rules for each situation. The host family's geographical location within the metro area isn't important as teachers pick up and drop off students. ---------------------------------- ACCELERATED SCHOOLS FOR U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS -1st thru 12th grade and college -Basic skills and gifted programs -INDIVIDUALIZED AND TUTORIAL -Certified teachers -7/1 average student/teacher ratio -START ANY DAY OF THE YEAR -2,6,9, and 12 month enrollments -FT and PT, AM, PM, evening classes -ACCELERATED THINKING CLASSES Includes study skills for: listening, memory, speaking, and writing. -College Preparatory Program -Advanced Placement and CLEP Preparation SAT, ACT, and GRE Preparation -ESL and INTENSIVE ENGLISH -Authorized to issue I-20 -ADVENTURE AND EXCITEMENT?

Las familias que recomendamos se han seleccionadas y entrenadas para apoyar nuestro programa de refuerzo positivo. Algunas familias substitutas tienen otros niños en sus hogares o sus hijos ya se fueron. Esto les da una perspectiva valuable para tratar a nuestros estudiantes. Los estudiantes son tratados como miembros de la familia substituta y son responsable del cuidado de su propia habitación privada Se expera que mantengan horas razonables para su categoría de edad y sigan las reglas adaptadas a cada situación.
