Our students call our program "non-stop English." Each July and August we invite 15 adults from around the world to spend three weeks speaking English and enjoying life in our friendly community here on the beautiful coast of New England. If you appreciate the value of a true English immersion, we would love to have you join us. Participants range in age from 21 to 65 (the average age is 35). The key to our success is the pleasure and excitement of meeting and learning from each other. This motivates an intense conversation in which you learn English through listening and active participation.

The goal of the Summer English Program for adults, is maximum English acquisition. Three hours of class each weekday, 24/7 conversational immersion, outdoor activities, meals and homestay. For international adults who have basic English and a serious interest in building confidence and fluency.

Students and hosts agree that the homestay is one of the best parts of the program. The hosts are a diverse group: young and old, married couples with children, single people living alone, groups of people sharing housing, working people, professionals, scientists, artists, etc.. We try to match students with hosts who have similar interests. The school does not pay the hosts: the hosts offer their homes because they want to meet you and because they want to help Penobscot School.Students have breakfast with their hosts. Monday through Friday, students and teachers prepare and eat lunch together at the school. Lunch is usually simple: sandwiches and fresh salad from the garden, perhaps soup, but students and teachers are free to make whatever they like. We also prepare dinners together at the school on weekday evenings.

Penobscot School ofrece en el verano tres cursos intensivos de inglés, de tres semanas cada uno. El objetivo del programa es la adquisición máxima de inglés. Opinamos que el estudiante aprende mejor en un ambiente cómodo y familiar que le ayuda a interesarse intensivamente en la materia. El cerebro humano está diseñado para aprender idiomas y con un buen estímulo puede lograr mucho en poco tiempo. El estudiante se sumerge en un "baño de lenguaje" y, educado cuidadosamente, "absorbe" el inglés al escuchar y al participar activamente.
