Description: Immerse yourself in the Russian culture, not simply as a tourist, but as a part of the community!
The program comprises visits to local schools, Russian classes, cultural and social events, meetings in local communities, excursions.

Structured Russian language classes are incorporated into the program. For the Russian course we tailor-design a special curriculum based on an assessment of the students' language needs, interests, and the written test and oral interview the students take. The focus is made on the integration of all the four language learning components and skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) and the emphasis on communication.

The cultural and social program is viewed as educational and entertaining part of the students' study program and is aimed at:
- Getting to know the Russian culture and various aspects of every-day life;
- Extending and deepening existing knowledge of the Russian language and use of it in real life situations.
- Getting to know the Russian school system.

During the weekend and on completion of the course, excursions to other historically and culturally important destinations can be organized.

Students live with a hospitable Russian family, who provide them with a room and meals. Our host families are carefully selected by our staff in order to provide the student with comfortable and friendly accommodations. For high school students daily interaction with the children of their host family, who are of the similar age, is an exciting and rewarding experience.

Highlights: - Excellent supervision
- High quality language instruction, effective training methods and materials
- A variety of leisure/social and cultural activities and sports, all activities are geared to specific age groups
- Friendly atmosphere and creative environment excellent for revealing talents, establishing good relationships and making new friends
- All our programs allow parents/teachers and children to travel together.

The program, being flexible, diversified and including many stimulating learning activities, is an extraordinarily enriching and rewarding experience.

Siberia has been opening up to the West and offers a range of still unexplored experiences and opportunities. As the cultural, scientific and educational center of Siberia and the third largest city of Russia (after Moscow and St.Petersburg), surrounded by picturesque wooded and field areas, Novosibirsk is an excellent place for immersion in the Russian language and culture, and provides many opportunities to experience the hospitality and cordiality Siberians are famed for.
