INTERNATIONAL HOUSE PHILADELPHIA ANNUAL REPORT

mESSAgE FrOmTHE BOArD OF TruSTEESCHAIr

Dear Friends of International House Philadelphia:

IHP is a forum for dialogue and communication between people of all cultures on topics ranging from art to science, and it is also a place of innovation, a home for thousands of students, and a destination for numerous visitors each year. It is with great pride that I have completed another year as Chairman of the Board, with great pleasure that I share our accomplishments and memories from this year with the IHP community, and with great sincerity that I ask for your continued support of and investment in this impactful institution.

IHP uniquely offers our residents, our audiences, and our partners the opportunity to become engaged in a variety of new experiences, collaborate with some of the brightest people in the world, work in a progressive environment, and truly be a global citizen. For the growing arts and culture scene in Philadelphia, IHP plays an integral role by acting as a meeting place for the regions diverse population, by offering continuing education outside of the classroom, and by weaving a rich and positive thread through day-to-day life.

To our residents we offer a safe and secure environment and a truly unique living experience: to come together with others from different nationalities with diverse interests, all in the context of developing a greater understanding of the American experience.

During fiscal year 2012, International House delivered enviable results despite the economic downturn, and continued to fully exemplify the institutions century-old can-do character. IHP provides value to the public and its residents that cant be found anywhere else, and remains a trustworthy resource and partner in philanthropy. To International House Philadelphias residents, supporters, audience, partners, and staff, please know you have my deepest thanks. It is a privilege to be associated with this terrific institution.

With warm regards,

James M. Papada, III Board Chair

Dear Fr iends:

The past year has been one of journeys: our residents travel led from near and far to f ind a home at IHP, alumni returned to reminisce on t ime happi ly spent in Phi ladelphia, members and vis i tors shared in personal journeys of discovery through our compel l ing programming, and our staf f part ic ipated in professional development and learning. 2012 began with the Internat ional Houses Worldwide Leadership Conference, held in Br isbane, Austral ia. Members of the IHWW Associat ion met to discuss best pract ices and to strengthen the bonds among al l Internat ional Houses. I returned to Phi ladelphia with a renewed and inspired sense of our united mission: the promotion of intercultural understanding, and contr ibut ing to the development of our residents, the worlds future leaders. Over the past twelve months, we heard from many members of the Internat ional House Worldwide community that have been inspired by our purpose. I am del ighted to share a couple of these stor ies with you.

We were pr iv i leged to receive a v is i t f rom our alum Joe Nakano, Japans Par l iamentary Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs. Fol lowing a tour of the bui ld ing, he met with current residents to speak about the world he had discovered, and the last ing value of the new ideas and fr iends that were introduced to him whi le a resident at Internat ional House. These exper iences and people inspired his diplomatic career path. He spoke about how Internat ional House uniquely groomed and developed his leadership ski l ls, and how his exposure to such a diverse community opened not only his eyes but a large number of opportunit ies for a rewarding future. His s imple part ing advice: take advantage of and part ic ipate in al l that IHP has to of fer.

One such resident has done just that. The programs IHP presents for the publ ic and the residents serve our mission


and our community. Ker ina Khiudin, or ig inal ly from Malaysia, has attended numerous events, both arts and educat ional. She part ic ipates whole-heartedly in l i fe at IHP, forming strong fr iendships with residents and staf f . As she expressed, I learn something new every day, from cultural quirks to networking t ips. For example, I had the opportunity to volunteer at IHPs Womens Day program, and was absolutely amazed how people of di f ferent generat ions and backgrounds come together to celebrate and honor the day that equal i ty for women was won. I came away from this event with a newfound appreciat ion of and respect for the women that have fought and struggled to g ive women my age the freedom we now enjoy. I wi l l carry this understanding with me in my day-to-day rout ines and into my future.

I t is these exper iences that cont inue to have a profound ef fect on al l the members of the IHP community, and reaf f i rm the impact that IHPs mission has both local ly and around the world. International House is a special place that brings people and ideas together, and is a positive influence on those who live here and those who are part of our global community. There is tremendous sat isfact ion fel t when ref lect ing on the

6

personal stor ies of accompl ishment, discovery, t radi t ion, and many successes born in this home. This feel ing is only strengthened by knowing that we uphold our commitment to serving our residents and community, whi le maintaining a growing and successful organizat ional t rack record.

I hope these ref lect ions have awoken in you feel ings of pr ide and community, and I thank you for being our loyal f r iends by shar ing your support and strong bel ief in the mission of Internat ional House. Please cont inue to te l l your stor ies, share your journeys, and come back to enjoy the r ich and vibrant arts and cultural programs that br ing the world of art , f i lm, music, and dance to so many.

Sincerely,

Tanya Steinberg Executive Director International Houses Worldwide Association, Executive Board

Some participants in the 2012 International House Worldwide Leadership Conference

Imagine the entrance to IHP, and then imagine a group of Indigenous Australians dressed in their traditional garb walking through it. At one point in the 1980s, this actually happened, and if not for Carole Parker, this memory might have been forgotten. IHP housed this group while they were performing at the nearby Academy of Natural Sciences. They arrived to check in directly from their performance, stil l in costume and carrying ceremonial spears. Carole remembers that they asked the receptionist where might they check their spears, as anyone might ask to check their coat! A suite of rooms had been prepared for them on one of IHPs upper floors, but as they were unaccustomed to sleeping in separate rooms since it was the first time they had travelled away from home, on the first night they ended up moving all of their beds into an adjacent lounge. Difficultly ensued due to having never slept so high off the ground. Ultimately, Carole and the IHP staff were able to accommodate the group by arranging for them to all sleep together in the theater much more to their liking given its location on the 1st floor.

After more than 35 years of working at International House Philadelphia, our Director of Building Operations, Carole Parker, is retiring. It is with heavy hearts and warm wishes that we wish her well on her next phase of adventures. However before she goes, we wanted to take the opportunity to look back on some of the highlights during her time at IHP. A citizen of the world, Carole was born in England to German Jewish refugees, and lived there the first ten years of her life. Since then, she has called Chicago, IL, Yellow Springs, OH, Palo Alto, CA, Tokyo and Kanazawa, Japan, and finally Philadelphia, home. Initially, Carole came to IHP because she was working for a publishing company in Philadelphia doing editing and if you know Carole this wont be surprising she was starting to find it rather boring. What she really wanted was to have contact with international people and an international organization, so naturally, there was no better fit than International House.

With resume in hand and her usual cheerful disposition, Carole stopped at IHP and submitted an application. Some time later, she received a phone call and learned they had a position open in the admissions office. This was 1972 and the building we all know and love, was a mere two years old. I was excited! I took the job, and afterwards found out that I was singularly replacing four people. When IHP first opened, it had moved from an 80-student building to a 400-student building. Caroles first position (one of seven) was to run the admissions office on her own, a sizeable task indeed! Following a brief hiatus (1975 1980) from IHP, part of which time Carole and her young family were living in Japan, she returned. When I found International House, it felt and continues to feel like a second homeThe reason I have stayed is that this residential and arts community really does embody an ideal, something rarely found under one roof.

Carole explained that, while the concept of IHP may have been more unique in the early 70s, the mission is just as important today. At first, IHP was purely residential, with no public programs, and it was very unusual to have a residence devoted primarily to international students and


CArOLE PArkEr :35 yEArSAT IHP

encouraging intercultural communication. The architects, Bower and Fradley, had the foresight to design the building so that there were suites of 10 rooms, and each suite (or mini-house) shared common facilities. These suites were originally intended to be home to 10 people of different nationalities, a very progressive idea, even in the late 60s and early 70s. Today, as Carole remarked, the whole idea of international communities is not so unique anymore: people travel more frequently and more easily, the students coming here from both abroad and the US are more globally sophisticated. However, as the times have changed and the people have changed, IHP has grown along with them. The experience that the students and the general public have when seeing the films, and enjoying the cultural events, is equally as important in broadening horizons now as it was in the 70s.

The adding of the public programming element came in the late 70s, and is a story in itself emblematic of the times when there was exceptional funding for and belief in the arts. Carole remembers that it came about in two different ways. The music program was started by a graduate student resident, Mick Moloney. He was studying Folklore at UPenn and was a professional musician. He began by doing little concerts for the residents in the Australia Lounge, and soon other students began performing, too. Ultimately, Moloney developed this into a full-fledged, funded music program, which became the Folk-Life Center focused on traditional ethnic music.

The film program was originally at the Christian Association at UPenn. The theater had originally existed as an auditorium, with no fixed seats. It looked like a gym! In the late 80s, IHP had a capital campaign to renovate a number of spaces. One of them was the conference center, one of them was the student center, and one of them was the theater. At that time, I visited NY to look at models for what we wanted the theater to look like here, so that it would be primarily good for film, but also good for music. I remember visiting the Film Forum and the theater at MoMA. The challenge was that it had to work for both film and music, something I feel we were able to successfully achieve.

Carole shared with us another project she played a big role in during her time at IHP. While green is the word on everybodys lips today, it wasnt the case when this building was designed and constructed. IHP was built in a time before any energy awareness or conservation. In the early 80s, we were awarded funding to put some conservation measures in place for the building. A large part of that was in the Galleria, along the North and East walls. Now there is what looks like traditional Japanese Shoji it is sort of a milky looking acrylicit was added because the windows were single paned and got hit by the weather elements. The architect added insulation but was clever enough to make it look like a Japanese screen, and Rohm and Haas donated all the materials. The windows of the conference center on the second floor were all double paned at that time, too. These were the beginning steps in energy conversation that continue today.

One of the most interesting parts of talking with Carole

about life at IHP over the years was hearing her speak to its strengths, and in particular that International House has been able to survive through so many world changes and, most fascinating of all, how these changes were and continue to be represented here. In the 70s, there were a lot of refugee students from Iran, and then at one point in the 80s, there were a lot of students from Venezuela. Gradually, weve seen an increase of Asian students from Japanese to Korean, more recently many Chinese, and now a lot of students from the Middle East. It seems that IHP exists almost as a global mirror. We have had to adapt our service to reflect different backgrounds and experiences. Some who arrive come from rural areas and some come from urban backgrounds. It is always very rewarding to watch residents from when they arrive to when they leaveseeing them become more comfortable, more mature, and more confident.

Carole Parker has pretty much seen it all at the IHP we know today, and she will be sorely missed! However, as a long-time resident of University City, we take comfort knowing she is right around the corner should any questions come up. We asked for some enduring words of wisdom: One of the things Im most proud of are the links Ive helped create between departments and I think that to be successful at IHP (as a resident, staff member, or visitor)you really need to embrace the concept of community. The greater your interactions, the more you learn and share. I think its really important for IHP to have that ethos: work, live, and experience face-to-face. Think about the big picture.

We wish you a very happy retirement!

experiential and cultural gaps. Nurturing these connections has helped me learn about different healthcare systems and beliefs from those with firsthand experience. International health concepts come to life from academic thought, and are contextualized through dialogue. The learning environment IHP fosters is both exciting and inspiring.

IHP gives back more than what one puts in. A simple exchange of greetings may lead to a deep and valuable friendship opening up many possibilities. The extremely talented and dynamic staff is generous with their time, and provides ample opportunity for residents to learn from top-notch professionals in the arts, media and marketing, business, residential services, and technology. As a resident, all I had to do was to keep an open mind. What I got back from IHP will stay with me for the rest of my life.

For my first internship, I ran anesthesia clinical trials, spending late nights and long days at the hospital to ensure patient safety and best practices. I realized IHP was truly my home during one of those late nights. While walking past a large window, I looked up to see the PennStars landing pad light shining through, and realized it was the same light I would fall asleep to in my room at IHP. It was deeply comforting knowing my home was just another viewpoint away from that light.

As a healthcare professional aspiring to improve healthcare policy around the world, living at International House Philadelphia has been tremendously beneficial. IHP offers both a home away from home and opportunities for professional and personal development. Constant interaction with people whose life experiences are very different from ones own allows us to start building bridges across

which was completed in June, and aimed to communicate that global peace begins in ones own community. Participants attended workshops which addressed the themes of Unity, Communication through Listening, and Communication through Expression, as well as a performance by the Philadelphia Orchestra and a presentation by a professor from the Music Department at Penn. The project culminated with a choreographed public dance performance. Both the participants and the public learned that it does not matter what walk of life you come from, what language you speak, young or old, music and dance will always be a source of energy, life, fun, and a unifying voice between people of all nations.

Thanksgiving Dinner Turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pieresidents gathered together to commemorate the harvest cornucopia, and remember the Plymouth Feast of 1621. A holiday rooted in tradition, residents from near and far learned the story of its significance since George Washington declared it as a day of public Thanksgiving on November 26, 1789. A little bit of history with a little bit of fun makes for a delicious and memorable occasion each year.

Lunar New Year A day known by many names including Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year, and Spring Festival, it is the most important of the Chinese holiday traditions. In 2012, we ushered in the Year of the Dragon with hopes for good fortune and happiness! Party-goers enjoyed dance, music, and a special acrobatic performance while experiencing the Chinese customs of this now-international celebration.

Resume Writing Workshop For many in the International House community, the job search process is a large and daunting part of their education. Making a positive first impression is vital! Tips from a seasoned professional, a representative from Drexel Universitys Career Development Office, offered residents insight and understanding on how to create an effective and impactful resume.

Community Service Participation IHP residents participated in a community service project at MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance) to prepare food for families and individuals living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, or other life-threatening conditions. The volunteers made 300 sandwiches, diced 200 pounds of onions, and packed 400 pints of fruit for this local organization. IHP will continue to participate in programs like this to provide an introduction to, and encourage, the value of community service and philanthropy.

Farewell Celebration & Awards Night To recognize resident leaders of International House, and to bid farewell to departing residents, the International House community participated in our annual farewell ceremony. Awards were given to IHP leaders representing efforts in community service, and contributions to the IHP community. Residents gathered in the courtyard to share memories and stories about their stays, and the evening culminated in a dinner and presentations by residents, alumni, staff, and board members.

The Resident Activities and Advisory Center (RAAC) provides programs, events, and opportunities that are fun, educational, and cultural for the students, scholars, and interns that call IHP home. Each year we identify new and engaging ways to involve the residents. Since International Houses founding in 1910, our goal has been to embrace and welcome residents through programming and experiences. This year was no different. Residents experienced a vast number of innovative programs, as well as those that were more traditional. With many activities to add to resident life at IHP, ranging from our public film series in the theater, language classes, community speaker series, resident leadership breakfasts, dinner invitations from board members, and introductions to the movers and shakers in the Greater Philadelphia area, personal growth and intercultural exposure are inevitable outcomes of a stay at International House. A small selection of programs organized specifically for our residents is listed below.

Traditional Independence Day BBQ Held in our courtyard, we came together to enjoy the festivities of a 4th of July barbeque. Although Independence Day is celebrated throughout Philadelphia, at IHP we make it special for the many residents who come from all over the world and experience this holiday for the first time. Hot dogs, hamburgers, corn-on-the-cob and other American staples proved popular while we remembered the fight for our Nations independence.

Welcome Week New and returning residents, board members, and staff were involved in a welcoming and warm whirlwind week of activities. The action packed week included a breakfast, lectures, a town hall orientation, movie night, a potluck dinner, and a welcome party. These events helped acclimate residents to life at IHP, providing an inviting environment that eased the transition to a new culture for some, and cemented friendships for all.

Diwali Celebration An important holiday in Indian culture, Diwali is a feast for the senses! Each year, we celebrate by transforming a space at IHP into a room filled with twinkling candles, festive lights, and vibrant, customary colors. Guests marveled at traditional Indian dance, delighted in curry and chutney, and learned the story behind this happy and important festival, officially celebrated each year in more than ten countries, and now at IHP as well.

Davis Projects for Peace Upon the occasion of her 100th birthday, international philanthropist and former International House New York resident Kathryn W. Davis chose to celebrate by committing $1 million to 100 grassroots projects made for peace. In 2012, IHP resident Teresa Brugarolas presented her project Building Peace through Music and Dance,

ArTS + CuLTurE :FrOm THE CurATOrSIn a quickly changing world with even faster-changing media, International House Philadelphia is committed to creating an environment of discovery and engagement with our audience by serving as Philadelphias key destination for moving image and time-based art. By drawing on an extensive history of promoting unique and innovative works of art, we continue to be a forum for new ideas and a point of access for connecting with the world. In the past year IHP has presented more than 100 fi lm screenings and special events as well as several programs that represent major achievements for the organization.

Our 2012 season began with a visit from actor/writer/activist Harry Shearer who screened his recent f i lm The Big Uneasy. Shearers f i lm looks at the real causes of the devastating f looding that occurred in New Orleans fol lowing Hurricane Katrina. The Q&A included a candid discussion of Shearers quest to show the other side of the Katrina story but was also peppered with a few of his voices from The Simpsons. Other summer programs included a free series of screenings of classic animated fi lms which took place in IHPs courtyard. We also hosted a rare screening of short f i lms and home movies by French actor Pierre Clementi. The program Unseen Pierre Clementi was accompanied by l ive performances from Pew fel low Chris Forsyth, Koen Holtkamp (of the group Mountains ) and founding member of The Notekil lers, David First. Finally, we presented a screening of the new documentary Blank City, which is a thorough investigation of New Yorks underground fi lm community during the 1970s and 80s. We also screened three early works by Vivienne Dick who is featured prominently in Blank City.

With another successful Fall Arts Preview to kick off our season, we moved into high gear with multiple screenings (more than half of which sold out) of Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles, a documentary by local f i lmmaker Jon Foy. Other highlights from the fal l season included a l ive projector performance from Brooklyn art ist Bruce McClure, a major retrospective of the works of Bruce Conner (co-presented by Bryn Mawr College), and a nearly complete survey of the f i lm works of Brit ish f i lmmaker Dick Fontaine.

The fal l also saw the launch of our Philadelphia Music Project funded yearlong retrospective of the Sonic Arts Union, a pioneering group of composers and sound artists who radically transformed modern music in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s and continue to inf luence artists from a variety of discipl ines today. The program included a series

of concerts by SAU luminaries Alvin Lucier, Robert Ashley and David Behrman, as well as younger art ists paying tr ibute to the group. There were also workshops, panel discussions and fi lm screenings. The program was the f irst major retrospective of the Sonic Arts Union.

Throughout the winter, we continued to deliver a ful l roster of exceptional programs including two screenings of the f i lm INNI, which captures Icelandic rock band Sigur Ros in concert. We were visited by notorious New York underground fi lmmaker and photographer Richard Kern, for a survey of his f i lm works. We mourned the loss of two great f i lm pioneers George Kuchar and Bob Cowan with a screening of their f i lm collaborations, and we hosted New York curator Molly Surno and her Cinema 16 project, which featured music by Hiro Kone.

This past year, we collaborated with the University of Pennsylvania as we presented several f i lm screenings in conjunction with the Penn Humanities Forum, which was centered around the theme of Adaptations. The Institute of Contemporary Art co-presented screenings of Los Angeles based artists Thom Andersen and Allan Sekula, the latter presented as part of the Zoe Strauss exhibit ion at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The Cinema Studies program hosted a Cuban fi lm series at IHP, which included a distinguished group of guest speakers.

The most ambitious program of the year was Mixed Messages: Marshall McLuhan and the Moving Image, a two-day series of screenings celebrating the l i fe and work of Marshall McLuhan on the occasion of his centenary year. The program included a l ively panel discussion with media art ists and scholars and a selection of f i lms and videos i l luminating McLuhans prophetic theories.

As we move into our next year of events, we do so knowing that the arts at International House has never been stronger. We look forward to revealing all of the programs we have curated for the next season, and are excited to continue to develop and strengthen our relationships with the many community partners who have found a home at IHP: Philadelphia Asian American Fi lm Festival, Latin American Fi lm Festival, Ars Nova Workshop, Exhumed Films, Scribe Video Center, ICA, Vox Populi, InLiquid, Reelblack, Secret Cinema, Blackstar Fi lm Festival, and many more! Just as International House Philadelphias unique, curated programs are a vital component of the arts & culture scene in the city, so is IHP a vital resource for the community of arts presenters in Philadelphia.

STAFF DEvELOPmENT :THE FLAHErTyDocumentary f i lmmakers, teachers, l ibrar ians, students, f i lm cr i t ics, and f i lm program curators from around the world part ic ipated in the 58th annual Robert F laherty Fi lm Seminar, thanks in part to fe l lowships provided by the New England-based Lef Foundat ion and the Phi ladelphia based Wyncote Foundat ion. The weeklong marathon of documentar ies brought f i lmmakers together with f i lm professionals to watch, think, and discuss a diverse range of f i lms. More than forty short or feature-length f i lms and video works were contained in the seventeen separate sessions presented. Four years ago, I was fortunate to receive a fe l lowship to The Flaherty through the Phi ladelphia Foundat ion. My or ig inal fe l lowship fel l under the category of Professional Development which was designed for emerging or mid-career professionals from both the U.S. and abroad.

In grant ing fel lowships, The Flaherty searches for appl icants who have demonstrated achievement in their profession or f ie ld of study, or who show potent ia l to be an emerging talent. In the required essay, appl icants need to ef fect ively convey reasons why they would l ike to attend the Seminar and also how they propose to contr ibute to the event. In the subsequent years fo l lowing my grant, i t has been my great fortune to attend The Flaherty as part of the staf f development in i t iat ives at Internat ional House Phi ladelphia.

Founded in 1954 by Frances Flaherty, the widow of pioneer ing documentary f i lmmaker Robert F laherty (Nanook of the North, Man of Aran, and The Louis iana Story ) , the seminar began as a smal l group of fr iends discussing Flahertys works. Now with an of f ice in New York City, the organizat ions main program is the seminar, held this year at Colgate Universi ty and programmed by Josetxo Cerdn. A seasoned professional, Cerdn is the Art ist ic Director of Punto de Vista Internat ional Documentary Fi lm Fest ival of Navarra (Spain). He is also an associate professor at the Media and Communicat ion Department at the Universi tat Rovirai Virg i l i in Tarragona, Spain. Among other notable achievements, he has produced more than 60 short documentar ies and publ ished art ic les in several Spanish journals about documentary f i lm including Archivos de la Fi lmoteca.

This years theme, Open Wounds, examined the ever changing perspect ives on pol i t ics, the economy, technology, cul ture, and ethics over the past century, and explored how f i lmmakers contr ibuted to new ways of seeing the world based on their own her i tage. Whether

making connect ions between act iv ist f i lms from dif ferent decades, or demonstrat ing how the traumas of oppression pass from generat ion to generat ion, the selected works i l lustrated how ideas and histor ies are l inked over t ime. Fourteen present ing f i lmmakers, plus another 160 part ic ipants, watched seven or more hours of f i lm/video each day, and engaged in v igorous debates about documentary structure, ethical considerat ions, intent ion, form, sound, and impact as i t re lated to this years theme.

The Open Wounds theme presents the 20th Century as i t wi l l be remembered for g iv ing us the documentary form, the civ i l r ights movements, and the Internet, as wel l as weapons of mass destruct ion and global warming. Already, the 21st Century has brought us the War on Terror, a shi f t ing global economy, and a surge of act iv ism and protest seen around the world. F i lmmakers, in part icular, are charged with the task of documenting these signi f icant events, shedding l ight on urgent issues, and creat ing a record for future generat ions.

The Flaherty Fi lm Seminar is an opportunity for f i lm, v ideo, and media arts curators working year round at programming inst i tut ions to meet and discuss key issues related to the f ie ld. These include new technologies, upcoming programs and retrospect ives, and specif ic chal lenges related to funding and audience cult ivat ion. This was my fourth year attending the Flaherty Seminar, and i t is a lways a great opportunity to meet col leagues face-to-face with whom I have been working for many years. Shar ing programs and f i lms with inst i tut ions outside of Phi ladelphia has helped to establ ish Internat ional House as a major dest inat ion and resource for f i lm in North America. I m pleased to report that the progressive and unique quality of our programs at IHP has brought us recognition and respect as a center for fi lm in places well outside our citys borders.

Every year that I at tend Flaherty also serves as a personal reminder that curat ing is not just the posi t ioning of mater ia ls to contextual ize the curators agenda; rather i t is akin to teaching in that one must communicate the necessary steps, process, and purpose to the general audience. I t is this role of teacher and communicator that Flaherty cul t ivates by al lowing a greater breathing space, an incubator as i t were, for the curator to develop concepts that can be explored, discussed, and absorbed by the audience.

The Language Programs have continued to grow with the addition of Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) prep classes, writing classes, and more tutoring hours. The TOEFL prep classes and the additional tutoring sessions have been especially welcomed by our English students. We began to offer more TOEFL prep hours by dividing skill areas out into different classes. Some focused on speaking and listening, and others on reading and writing. Our foreign language classes also had broader appeal, as we saw an increase in inquiries and enrollments particularly from high school students and teachers. Many of our students came from different parts of the city, and a higher proportion of our student body travelled 45 minutes or more to attend classes.

Our volunteer teachers are interested in different cultures, and our students come from all over the world. This makes our classes a great place to meet people from other countries and learn about American culture. Students participate in field trips, extra-curricular activities, and have opportunities to meet with conversation partners.
