ESL / Leadership Summer Program

 Fork Union Military Academy offers an English as a Second Language (ESL) / Leadership Summer Program from:

July 29, 2012 through August 27, 2012.

English Core Language Skills

Your son will improve his skills in English and learn how to communicate effectively in conversation and writing. The English as a Second Language course is academically rigorous and includes four core language skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.

In addition, your son will learn about American culture and how to use his English language skills in everyday life. Our “cultural immersion” experience will help him put his English knowledge into action on a daily basis.

Our class sizes are intentionally kept small to enhance the educational experience and allow each student to receive individual attention from our teachers.

Your son will be assessed frequently by a specially-trained and licensed ESL instructor, and his individual progress will be tracked as teacher and student work together to achieve challenging goals. Our teachers will communicate with parents frequently to update them on their son’s progress.

Structured Learning Environment

Our school is located on a 1,000-acre campus in the rural heart of central Virginia. While we are close to major metropolitan areas such as Richmond and Washington, DC, our campus provides a peaceful sanctuary for learning in a structured and disciplined learning environment.

Leadership

The Leadership part of the program offers courses in servant leadership, community service volunteering, character building, group and individual problem solving, survival skills and lifesaving, all designed around fun activities.

Your son will develop the skills needed to be a successful leader and to achieve his own goals for personal growth.
