The Homestay English Immersion Program (HEIP) is a program that was developed in 2017 to provide a vacation immersion experience for students looking to practice the English that they have worked so hard to learn in classroom and real-life environments. Students have the opportunity to learn language techniques, explore local establishments, and visit the world’s most prestigious schools to learn about American culture and lifestyle.

Our philosophy is based on a blended learning strategy developed by Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky who believe learning and language learning are acquired through interaction, experiences, and exposure to things that can be observed. As we expand upon the Homestay English Immersion Program, we plan to continue instilling this pedagogical practice into our learning environments. To better understand the background behind our learning environments, teaching practices, and our ideal student and teacher profiles, read more about the philosophy that keeps us moving onward and upward.
