Cultural Immersion
To further cultivate language study and improve their understanding of a language and culture, EHS participates in several programs that allow students to study abroad.
Episcopal has established exchange programs with schools in Austria, France, and Spain. These programs bring students from abroad to stay on campus with Episcopal students, who later travel to visit their new friends in their home countries.
Experiential Learning
Through these trips, Episcopal students increase their cultural awareness and knowledge as it relates to the overall trip theme, while increasing self-awareness, self-understanding, and personal responsibility.
Study Year Abroad
In addition to our in-house exchange programs, EHS students also have access to School Year Abroad (SYA), a well-respected international study organization. SYA features summer and year-long programs that include homestays with families and academic study in France, Spain, and Italy. For more information on the application process or to learn about SYA, visit www.sya.org/admissions.
"Being able to help students see the fabric of cultures through the lens of language allows all of our department members to develop and strengthen the passion we have for our respective languages and cultures. With exchanges and study-abroad programs, both students and teachers benefit by broadening their worlds. Students can pursue many directions in their study and can put their talents to use in the world beyond. Helping them achieve that ability is the driving force behind my passion for teaching at EHS."Eleanor C. Moore Modern Language Development Chair, French Faculty Member Since 1999 |
