Understanding

We believe any successful modern education requires an accurate understanding of the places we come from and an awareness of the global world that exists around us.

The Latin American Immersion Project ensures our youth will be active, thoughtful participants in world society.

Here are the voices of our students:

"I would love to visit Peru and be able to share with Peruvian people all I know about their culture. It will increase my desire to learn about other cultures and inspire me to learn better than books." Leslie, LAIP Junior

"I want to compare Peru to Honduras, the place I was born...to learn about their culture and experience it with the people there." Dalieth, LAIP Sophomore

"Traveling to the land of our study will help us to learn about culture by experiencing it first hand." Genevieve, LAIP Junior

"I'm very interested to travel to Peru and see first hand the ancient civilizations that produced such an advanced agriculture, architecture and culture." Edwin, LAIP Sophomore

"I expect to learn more about the history, culture, geography and political issues of the Peruvian people;...become better prepared when it comes to having a conversation about Latin America; and learn many things which will be helpful to my future." Carlos, LAIP Junior

"The best thing is that the more you know about another culture, the interaction with people from that culture greatly improves." Lenny, LAIP Junior
