Soon to welcome International Summer and ESL Students!

July 5 (Opening day of Summer School) will soon be here. The staff and faculty are ready for a very successful Summer Session. We will be welcoming international students from China, Thailand, Mongolia, Vietnam and Mexico. We are currently taking applications, so you still have time to join us at FUMA! Students in the ESL program will follow the same class schedule as other summer session students. The course will use an ESL textbook, include classroom instruction, and provide a heavy component on cultural immersion. Students will be exposed to the American culture through various field trips planned during the four week period. These may include trips to the nation's capital - Washington, DC; other historical points of interest - Colonial Williamsburg, Gettysburg, Richmond; and theme parks and sporting events. Students in the traditional Summer School Session have the opportunity to repeat up to two classes for better grades or take one new class. Both our Leadership and SAT Prep classes are very popular with our international students. You can find a description of both on our website. If you are interested in Summer or our full academic year in the fall, please email me at mcilnayc@fuma.org and I will be happy to tell you about our FUMA tradition and successful programs. Hope to see you!
