During the summer of 2011 Global Partners will have two groups of high school students coming to Prince Albert from Japan.
1) One group will be here for 4 weeks to participate in an Intensive English program. At the close of their program they will then go to communities around the province to study at Saskatchewan High Schools for the 2011-2012 school year. This will be a co-ed group of students. The dates for this program are from JULY 23 - AUGUST 20. These students will attend classes at St. Mary High School on the week days.
2)The second program will be here for 2 weeks.All the students in this group will be girls. They will be studying English and will also do a few tours in the area. In this program we invite older host siblings to join in the classes to assist with increasing the frequency of English conversation. The program dates are JULY 22 - AUGUST 3. There will be classes on the Sunday and Monday of the long weekend with this program. Their study centre will be at Rivier Academy.
For both programs Global Partners provides:
* Pre-arrival orientation
* Regular contact and support throughout the students stay
* An honorarium for hosting
Global Partners wants families that:
* have two or more related people living in the home at the time of hosting.
* are willing and able to include the student into their home as a family member.
* will provide three meals a day to the student placed with them.
* are able to drive the student to and from the study centre (or arrange for transportation), which will be in Prince Albert, each day.
If you or someone you know would be interested in hosting for either of these programs, please contact Jeannette Eddolls at 763-4127 or jeannette@gpicanada.com
