Camp Focus:

Description:

SPI programs are designed to prepare students for entering college and making high scores on the AP/IB exams. Benefits of SPI Programs: Develop Fluency in a Foreign Language, Strengthen Your Self Esteem & Confidence, Enter College with college credit! - Saving you time and money, Gain Multi-Cultural & Geographic Awareness, and Increase your Career Skills to prepare for life in the Global Business World. 

Students live with a family in a city where they are required to use their developing language skills as they safely explore the community and establish friendships with local residents. Programs are located in smaller, easy to manage cities that provide a true immersion experience. 

Classes are taught M-F by foreign school staff and incorporate grammar, culture, and oral practice to boost student's language proficiency. Homestay families and on-site directors help facilitate the learning process by truly immersing the students into the language and culture.

PARENT & STUDENT TESTIMONIALS:

STUDENT QUOTES:

"My summer abroad with SPI was simply amazing.  I met so many people from all over the world that I still keep in contact with!  The program was well rounded with just enough free time to really feel like we lived in the city, not just visiting it.  To top it off, my college already awarded me 3 hours of credit for the classes we did!"

"I had so much fun this summer! The SPI directors and local staff helped us really experience the local culture from an insider's perspective and not as a tourist.  I can't wait to go back!"

"The directors were fantastic!  They really went the extra mile to make sure that we got the most out of our time abroad. We had just enough freedom and support which made the experience a perfect mix of fun and serious learning."

PARENT QUOTES:

"The SPI program went above and beyond our expectations on all levels. IT WAS PERFECT! The orientation information and preparation was phenomenal.  I felt very comfortable with everything and SPI was always available, always good at returning calls, and very professional."

"She really had a blast...learning from the culture, the wonderful family, and especially the language.  Thank you so much for helping expand her horizons!  She will definitely be studying abroad in college as well.  I will continue to spread the word about how memorable and safe her experience was with SPI."

“It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Sending her to Italy last summer was the best thing we could have done to help prepare for her for her first year in college! She called home only a few times because she was so busy indulging in all the exceptional excursions and courses SPI offered. She saw the world in a way we could never show her here in the states.”
