people to people student ambassador program? 2010- England, France,Belgium and Netherlands?
sorry i know its alot but im wondering if i should do it besides i heard it alot of money? did anyone get their letter for the summer of 2010. I went to their website and i got a little confused. How much it it? If i reserve my spot will i have to pay like im going for sure? is it just for the summer? because i read that people went for a semester? so if i reserve my spot that deosn't mean im going for sure, i can say no or change my mind right? how was the experience for others who have went before?

Im still trying to figure out why I never got my letter but they skipped right too me missing the info meeting. Im really confused! I got the application book tho cause they sent it too me. Go on there webstie and click apply now on your program and itll tell you!

I read the information provided on their website. No mention of the amount of money required and no mention of whether or not my reservation suggests a no way out clause. Suppose I'll just have to find out at the information meeting in October.

My son just got a letter this afternoon too. We looked at the website and I see no mention of a price, but I'm sure it's going to be pricey! We did reserve his spot for the informational meeting, but he knows it may not fit into our budget. I do not believe going to the meeting will cost you anything but your time and gas to get there. The whole point of the meeting is to inform us about the program itself. I'm just a little leery about sending him overseas after reading the complaints on People to People. They have even had a death resulting from lack of providing medical care. While this particular student had pre-existing conditions, he was denied medical attention when he so desperately needed it. I know that when i was in middle school I went on a trip to Washington D.C. (not sure if it was People to people) and it was a great experience. i saw thing and went places I never would have had the chance to in my small town life. I know this would be a great experience for the children, just do your research and attend the meeting.

I have been before and it was life changing, reserve your SEAT at an information meeting ( through the website its free) and they will explain everyting you cant automatically go you have to go through interviews and stuff it is expensive but worth it like i said they explain everything at the meeting

If you do not speak any French nor Dutch you will have to go to an International school, likely an American highschool in Belgium. Those will be as close to a school in America as they can get. To go to a local school you will need a good knowledge of the local language and a working knowledge of the other, even when you go to a school that teaches in English, if you can find one. That because both languages will be compulsory subjects in the earlier years and the local language will be compulorsy as subject, also for the exams.

It much differs between free or state education of course but I'll point out the similarities. Most schools have tables (for two), sometimes especially in the lower years these tables are equipped with someplace to put one's books, but as there is much travelling around from classroom to classroom it's unlikely that will even be used. Most schools don't have uniforms but for sporting. All schools however follow the same system, imposed by the regional government, I'm not going to explain it because that will take me too much time, you can of course check Wikipedia for the article Education in Belgium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Belgium All lessons however are in the regional language, or partially in the language the lesson is about. (French will be given in French, Dutch in Dutch, English in English and German in German) In other words, you'll be only able to survive during the English classes. Some years ago a famous and Important Walloon politician wished to send her child to my (Flemish) School, the school refused because he didn't speak Dutch. As you don't speak either I don't think you'll come in the regular network until you speak one of the languages.

Excellent schools in Belgium - High schools are called "athénée" for boys, and "lycée" for girls - Some private high schools are called "colleges" - Generally no uniform in athénées and lycées - But they have them at times in colleges - Seating is variable - either single desk per student, or shared table - Depending the area you will be, language will either be Dutch or French - Brussels has both - you choice there - Many teenagers speak some English - You will be a little lost in the beginning with another language - But after a while, it will get better - Best is to use and live with that language all the time in the beginning - Make friends and chat with them, watch TV news and movies - I changed my language 3 times in my life - I grew up in Brussels, speaking French - Went to university in USA, then lived there 30 years with English - And at age 50, I moved again, Argentina, had to learn Spanish for my job - It took me only 3 months to survive in Spanish... at my age...! So I am sure you can do at least as good - .

They don't have high schools. They have streaming. Some catholic education establishment have uniform codes. And no, you will not survive in mainstream education speaking only English. Unless you end up in an international school and none of it will matter...
