166. International Students At Camden Support Program All international students participate in a special program designed to provide them the maximum amount of support during their time living in the Philadelphia area.This program was designed in recognition of the facts that our international students are far from their homes and families, are living in a new culture and will be learning in a new language.The key features of this program are: * All international students are mentored by our International Student Coordinator, Ms. Lisa Borreggine, who has overall responsibility for ensuring that our international students’ time at Camden Catholic is as productive and enjoyable as possible. To that end, Ms. Borreggine works individually with each student to select each year’s courses, review academic progress, facilitate the students’ participation in extracurricular activities and review the students’ living arrangements. Ms. Borreggine is a highly experienced educator who teaches English at Camden Catholic. She also is certified to teach English as a Second Language (ESL). *All new international students come to campus two weeks before the opening of school to participate in an orientation program to smooth their transition from home to an American high school. During this time they live in Nazareth House, our on-campus dormitory, and meet other students from our community, receive an assessment of their English language ability, and take classes on how to succeed in an American classroom. They also are given help to make arrangements for banking, medical care and music lessons (if needed) and are introduced to their host families (if they are not living on campus). To relax, students will participate in sports on campus, tour Philadelphia and take in a baseball game. Students should plan to arrive on campus August 21, 2011 to participate in this program.
167. Camden Catholic International Students * Parents will receive written reports from the students’ teachers approximately every ten weeks regarding their progress in the classroom.
