as the world’s “melting pot,” the sprawling country known as the united States is not just a single culture but the blending and co-existing of many. When you live here, you’ll explore what it truly means to be an american — in all its many forms. You may have visited before and seen the major landmarks, but if you want the true north american experience you have to go beyond the tourist sites. With Three W international you will live in our communities where you will make friends, go to school and learn the language. You will eat our food, laugh at our jokes and watch world events unfold from a uniquely american perspective.

NAtioNAl pArks

eDUCaTioncreativity is the ability to tackle and manipulate concepts in new and previously unthought of ways. but being creative is more than just being intelligent, it’s partially a product of one’s culture. north american culture, and especially its education, encourages individualism, problem-solving

and the skills necessary to address tomorrow’s problems in imaginative and innovative ways. a north american education will give you more than just facts and knowledge, it will teach you to collaborate with others, to think original thoughts and to be the kind of innovator that future employers are looking for.

CharaCTeriSTiCS of ameriCan CUlTUreThe american mind-set is sometimes hard to understand, and often contradictory to the culture you come from. by living and learning in the united States, you’ll understand the unspoken protocols and cultural preferences that are important in north america. for example, did you know that americans prefer a certain amount of

“personal space?” asking ‘how are you?’ is a simple greeting and not a question about your health. americans smile — a lot. and when dining out, a tip of 15-20 percent is usually expected. These are just some of the things you’ll learn during your time abroad.

The lanDSCaPeas the world’s third largest country, america offers a diverse and varied landscape. There are snow-capped mountains and tropical beaches, bustling metropolitan cities

and small farming communities. in each region you will discover distinct traditions, customs and dialects.

STyleWhile climate plays a part in how people dress, american dress is typically casual. denim jeans, sneakers and sweatshirts are common for teenagers.

ameriCan fooDThere’s no better way to get to know someone than to share a meal. One of the best learning opportunities you’ll enjoy is dining together in your host family’s home or in a restaurant. While there are some foods common to america, such as hot dogs, hamburgers and pizza, there are also regional specialties. and since america is a blending of cultures from around the world, you’re likely to find dishes from every corner of the globe.

The arTSno matter where you come from, chances are you have heard american music and watched american television. The nation’s media and movie industries are popular worldwide. but when you live in the country, you’ll get a chance to explore america’s rich theatrical history, fine arts museums and diverse music scene as well.

While the ultimate aim of high school is education, there are a host of little things that color the teenage experience -- things that may seem unfamiliar to foreign students. To begin with, american high schools tend to be large, and the experiences can be just as big. There is a strong sense of community and togetherness as well. from football games to school dances, shopping at the mall to meeting up with friends, interaction is key.

american students like to:

8Study together. not only is collaboration important in school, it is also an integral part of american business.

8attend sporting events. Supporting your school and cheering for your favorite college or professional team is a huge part of american life.

8attend concerts and music events.

8connect with friends on social media.

8go to the movies with friends.

8play a sport or participate in extracurricular activities.

8volunteer at a local charity. not only is this a fun thing for students to do, but community service is vital to college acceptance and even high school graduation.

8attend school dances. prom, homecoming and sweetheart are just some of the dances offered at american high schools. most dances are formal occasions and teens often attend them with a date.

being comfortable with all aspects of american life ensures the best chances for admission to the most competitive north american and canadian universities.

The midwest region is made up of a cluster of states around the five great lakes that border the u.S. and canada. european immigrants settled here in the 1800s in search of better farmland and access to the atlantic Ocean. Today, the midwest is a cultural crossroads made up of those first waves of Western europeans and many other nationalities that soon followed. midwesterners are known for being

very genuine, friendly and straight-forward. generally conservative, the people here value family, friends and hard work.

as america’s “heartland,” the midwest region is full of extremes. it’s a place of skyscrapers and grain silos, farms and factories. There are endless miles of flat farmland and major cosmopolitan cities such as chicago and detroit. What unites the region, despite its diversity, is a strong sense of character and the genuineness of people who don’t feel the need to be anyone other than exactly who they are.

more than any other region of the united States, the south has an identity all its own. Southerners are proud of their heritage, their comforting cuisine and even the “drawl” of their slow-spoken dialects. from bustling cities to rural suburban areas, the south possesses an abundance of history and a kind of gentility that doesn’t exist in other parts of the country.

Who we are

founded by anna and Jason Wang, Three W international has served schools since 1998. from its humble beginnings, Three W international has maintained one vision: to provide an international program that produces the best possible experience for students and schools. ever mindful of their goal, Three W international has seen tremendous growth in the number of students and schools it serves. Today, it has become an industry leader in the field of international student program management, representing over 80 schools in the united States and 10 in canada. although the number of students has increased, the philosophy and quality of service has never faltered. With the largest student success rate in the industry and unprecedented satisfaction of schools, Three W international bridges cultural boundaries and expands educational opportunities.

from the very beginning there were absolutes that this exchange must offer: quality schools, exceptional students and reliable host families. This combination resulted in several unique outcomes. Schools benefitted academically and financially. Students were exposed to a first-rate educational and cultural experience. and host families not only enjoyed a wonderful learning experience, they were compensated generously for their hospitality. The idea worked so well that by 2012, Three W international had 1,500 students studying in more than 80 u.S. schools.

no detail is overlookedWhy Three W international is the best choice for your school

The key to a successful international program is knowledge of the students and understanding their cultural and academic environments. We are heavily focused on this and invest our time and resources to further deepen our awareness.

Three W international’s unique process ensures your school’s international program success by managing the screening, application, educational and environmental process from beginning to end. Our implementation process is second to none - we are there to assist your school in program start-ups, admission, home-stay selections, parent communication, educational programs, and any other questions that arise.

Our primary objectives for the duration of a student’s enrollment include:

zcreating a positive experience for both our students and the academic institution

z Setting attainable goals for program implementation

zmobilizing the local faculty and providing them with the tools necessary for programmatic success

zmaking recommendations for the cultural integration of students into the school and community

Three W international’s results speak for themselves which is why we boast a program attrition rate of less than 1% and homestay repositions of less than 2%.
