What's a typical day like?

 

Each day is different, but a typical weekday schedule is below. All activities are conducted in language groups.

On weekends, some groups may head off for an exciting daylong field trip, depending on site location. Venues can include a water park, hiking trail, cultural festival, local event or other cultural center. We take trips to places that are fun and bring languages alive. Wherever we go, you will be in small groups led by our faculty and staff.
