Schooling

The Schooling Program is a semester-long experience where students attend local U.S. schools and experience American education firsthand. Through daily participation in real classrooms, students not only improve their English skills but also develop cultural understanding, independence, and global perspective. It’s a unique opportunity to live like a local student and grow both academically and personally in a supportive environment. This program is especially valuable for families considering immigration, as it offers students a realistic and meaningful preview of life and learning in the U.S. before making a long-term decision.

Review from Parents

We participated in the schooling program through Fun in Irvine for two months. Contrary to our worries, everything went smoothly and comfortably. Even our shy child had a wonderful time thanks to the kind and welcoming friends at school — we’re already planning to go again this summer. Our child cried so much on the last day — it really showed how meaningful the experience was. Last summer was such a special and unforgettable memory. Thank you to Fun in Irvine for helping us stay safe and comfortable throughout the program.

July - October (2 months schooling program)
