Unique Experiential Learning

  • What makes Kiski’s English Immersion Program unique is the introduction to American culture that occurs not only through traditional ESL instruction but also through the English Language and American Cultural learning that goes on when our students go on college visits and participate in academic workshops in engineering, photography, media, and 3D printing technology.
  •  After various trips and activities, students compile what they have learned into English oral presentations and discussions.  Many of these presentations will include information learned about American unspoken cultural and social traditions that will be valuable in secondary school, college and the work world. 
  • We also offer lessons in which students learn the steps in the admission process and daily life in an American Boarding School.  Another highlight of the English Immersion Program at Kiski is the other academic and athletic camps that allow for daily interactions with English-speaking American students.
  • Students will have many experiences, trips, role-playing situations and sit-down meals with adults to learn the rhythm, vocabulary, and expectations of daily American life. What success looks like in an American classroom, the norm of participation, actively dialoguing with teachers, asking questions, and writing papers that express personal opinions will all be explored at Kiski.
