项目概述

Congratulations on your pursuit in learning English as a second language, 或者对你们中的许多人来说, 作为第三或第四语言. 根据一本历书, English is spoken by over 470 million people across the globe, and it is the official language of over 45 countries. 在许多国家, knowing how to speak and write English increases your chances of getting a higher-paying job. Whether it is for these reasons or others, your desire to study the English language is a worthwhile one.

Our program is unique in the following ways:
  • All international students are matriculated immediately and enrolled in regular elementary, middle school or high school courses.
  • An English SDAIE (sheltered English) class is offered in the high school for all English Language Learners who need preparation before going into the mainstream English classes.
  • A Fundamentals of Christian Faith class will be offered to incoming international students in the secondary level (need based).
  • 现在的你.S. immigration regulations allow students who study at a private high school to remain longer in the United States than at a public high school. 因此, a student can potentially complete all four years of high school study at our school and receive an American high school diploma.
  • Students  have access to an International Student Resource Center, where they can speak to a counselor, 获得学术支持, 使用他们可用的资源, 或者只是安静地学习.
  • Teachers receive training throughout the year on strategies to best help international students in the classroom.
  • Host families receive support and training sessions throughout the year on how to get the most out of their hosting experience, and how best to manage different situations that may arise in the home.
  • Students have access to a wide variety of sports, music, and art programs available at our school.
  • Although Hillcrest does not offer a home stay program, students in need of a host family may contact the program director for a list of potential families that have been screened and approved by our school.
  • The average HCS student tests two years ahead of the national average.
  • HCS is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant students by issuing I-20 forms in grades kindergarten through 12th. Hillcrest does not accept new students in their senior year of high school (12th grade).
  • Students in elementary can enter the school year at any time. Secondary students must enroll at the beginning of a semester. The school year runs from late August to early June.
  • To ensure that the international students are immersed in the culture and have an American school experience, we limit the amount of international students in each grade level.
  • After-school support is available for all grades and is included in the program fee.
  • Courses are taught by highly qualified teachers. Students have access to a wide variety of sports, music, and art programs available at our school.
  • The program includes three planned, day-long social outings in Southern California, 7年级到12年级, to help experience American culture.
  • Our location alone makes for a unique experience. We are located in beautiful Thousand Oaks, approximately an hour’s drive from Disneyland and Universal Studios, and scenic beaches like Malibu and Santa Barbara. It’s a beautiful suburban environment, fully accessible to many of the cultural opportunities of Southern California.
