Upper School To Welcome Visiting Chinese Students in February; Host Families Needed
As we did last year, Episcopal will welcome 12 visiting students and one faculty member from Northeast Yucai School, our sister school in Shenyang, China, to campus from February 1 to February 9, 2012. Similar to last year, we need Episcopal families to host the nine girls and three boys for the eight nights that they are here. The students will attend classes with their Episcopal hosts and visit surrounding historical sites and universities. The planned Episcopal 2012 China Trip will include a return visit to Yucai School in June. Our students will stay for a week with their host families. If you are interested in hosting or would like more information, please contact Andrew Hess at hess@episcopalacademy.org or 484-424-1516.
