to do, students can have a truly phenomenal educational experience.

receive wraparound support outside of the classroom. The
Academy staff perform home visits and screenings for each
host family in order to ensure students are properly

opportunity to discuss any miscommunication issues with
teachers or with families. Staff are always available to help
bridge any misunderstandings while helping with the
transition to an American school system.

In addition to academic services, The Academy also

schedules a wide variety of activities and recreational
programs for students. As part of MiraCosta Community

compete against other students on campus. Students are also
able to join campus events, clubs and organizations and have
the opportunity to be well-integrated into the campus
community.

The Academy also offers several special activities just for high school students. Cultural events and visits to San Diego museums help students experience
the city and surrounding areas while college tours allow students with aspirations of transferring a firsthand look at potential schools. Whether it’s a bonfire
on the beach or an afternoon at a world-class art museum, students have many opportunities to build relationships and further their educational plan.
