Q:学校、学校周辺環境について教えて下さい。


A:ロサンゼルスの南、サーフシティとして世界的に知られるハンティントンビーチに2016年1月に移転したばかりの新しい学校です。

課程主要是跟口語有關，畢竟我們在學校所學的英文能力能藉此發揮，才能習慣成自然，我是這樣想的。課堂第一天，老師與班上學生討論有興趣的議題與所期待能在這門課中獲得什麼，選擇自己所感興趣的，然後盡情參與其中。

有趣的是，一個班級就如同文化的大熔爐，觀點與文化的不同常會互相腦力激盪而後產生獨特的見解，比如說，某次上課主題為社群網站，討論過程中，可以了解到不同國情文化使用社群網絡的現象與特色。
不同於我們對於上課的刻板肅穆氛圍，課堂中取而代之的是如同歡樂的宴會氣氛，每位同學皆踴躍的表達自己的看法，同時也尊重他人的不同見地，若討論到敏感議題時例如政治，如何有風度地接受別人的看法，並且機智給予回應，是我在這個月當中所學到的寶貴經驗，不僅止於課堂討論，同學之間相處也是不吝給予指點，並當下指出你的錯誤迅速解決問題，避免問題隨著時間擴大與複雜化，這也是令我印象最深刻的。如何有技巧的不讓對方感到不舒服與保持組內的和諧，在這短短的一個月當中，我確實學到不少。

海が好きだったので、カリフォルニアでの留学がしたく、この学校を見つけました。

授業は読み書き聞き取りなど、バランスよく学べます。
英語力だけでなく文化の違いや歴史を学ぶこともカリキュラムに組み込まれているので、
様々な文化的イベントや近隣の名所へのプチ旅行みたいなのもあります！
選択クラスもあって、会話、発音、ビジネス英語、TOEFL準備、アメリカ文化、コミュニケーションなど色んなジャンルに別れています。

今はホームステイをしています！
学校が終わって家に帰るとファミリーが今日はどんなことを習ったのかなど
積極t系に会話してくれるので家でも自然にコミュニケーションスキルを伸ばせてる気がします！
