Merging American and Chinese High School Students
This week Calvin Christian High School is hosting a group of twenty five international students from China for two weeks. Members of the journalism class interviewed a group of these students about their views of America, and how it differs from China. When asked about some differences between their schooling and ours, they replied that our classes are longer. Back in China classes are only forty five minutes and here they are an hour long.
Host families and some American food have been their favorite parts of being in America. They feel very welcomed here by everyone's openness and outgoing personalities. They also enjoy seeing the cultural differences and being able to experience some activities outside of school, including going to Bethel University on Monday April 14th for registration and to sit in on classes as well as attending a visit to the Minnesota Art Institute on April 8th. They also will get to to experience going to a Minnesota’s Twins game on Thursday April 18th, Overall, this new program has been beneficial to both the Calvin and International students.
