Each
year about thirty high school juniors studying French, Spanish, and
German are selected for each of the seven-week programs: in
France, St. Brieuc and Brest; in Germany, Krefeld; in Mexico,
San Luis Potosi; and in Spain, Valencia and Ciudad Real.
Each student is placed with a local family selected by
the coordinators abroad. Intensive study conducted in the foreign language
is the focal point of the program. Students are taught
by carefully selected teachers in morning classes established exclusively for
the Honors Program participants. The emphasis is on improving speaking,
listening, and writing skills, to which end a no-English rule
prevails while the students are abroad. In the afternoon, students
sing, dance, act, and practice music or sports. A few
field trips are planned for each program.
