The Academy of the Fox Cities

Description

The Academy of the Fox Cities in located in Appleton, Wisconsin, the heart of the Fox Valley region. The area is made up of 10 small cities that combine to form one medium-sized metropolitan area with a population of more than 250,000. We make every effort to locate host families for students, however in times of high enrollment, other arrangements may be made with a minimal additional cost. The community is extremely safe, welcoming, and has a rich cultural diversity.

The RITA (Rigorous Immersion and Targeted Achievement) Intensive English Program is an 8-week full-immersion course taught by certified TESOL and TEFL educators at a premier Academy certified by the University of Cambridge in England. Students can take standard academic courses to continue their regular studies and interests, all taught in English, and will also receive half a day of English every day - including public speaking, essay writing, creative writing, and grammar. The program also includes two weekend trips - one to Chicago and one to a seasonal destination.
