Welcome back to school, we finally made it!

We're excited to show you what we've been up to during these special times!

Meetings meetings meetings! 

This summer, we have put a great deal of emphasis on communication. We have spent time talking with schools about reopening plans, as well as remote learning opportunities and expectations. During the age of Zoom, clarity is very important. Where blurred lines would normally be an issue, IPERC has been working hard on maintaining visible lines of communication among students and schools. Setting our students up for success has never been more vital.

Our dedicated team of student coordinators act as the first point of communication between schools and students. Not only have they have been hard at work collecting various 2020 Fall class plans, they have also been detailing school reopening plans with our students. For students who have decided to participate in remote learning, our coordinators have helped them submit their surveys and required paperwork, as well as understand remote learning details and guidelines.

As you can see, we have been very proactive with our preparation. We believe that this will lead to our students' continued growth and learning, despite the pandemic situation.

Online Courses Offered by Top 30 University Teachers

Each student's academic needs and interests vary, so we have prepared several online class options this summer for our students to take advantage of. 

We invited special professors and instructors from Top 30 universities such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, New York, and Northwestern University to teach our IPERC students a variety of courses such as, economics, biology, physics, computer science, psychology, and many others.

We also welcome non-IPERC students to join our online class program. Click the link below to learn more...

IPERC Host Family Orientation

On September 3rd, we recorded a host family orientation session for families new to hosting IPERC students this fall. Topics included a brief introduction to IPERC, a discussion of cultural differences between the U.S. & China, Covid-19 Safety Protocols, host family expectations & responsibilities, stipend & tax information, IPERC guidelines, reducing student-host family conflicts, and IPERC headquarters contact information.

We are so grateful to all of our host families, new and returning, who welcome our students into their homes during this time of uncertainty. Thank you, all!

Highlights of Our Summer

COVID-19 has greatly impacted us all...

However, with the help of our host families and coordinators, the future looks bright!

As we continue to combat the virus, simple safety precautions are still an essential part of our day to day activities. In addition to bringing snacks, our student coordinators continue to deliver thermometers, masks, and disinfectant wipes to students. 

Back-to-School Highlights

In-Person：Strict but safe protocol

We are also making an effort to keep parents informed. We regularly share real-time campus pictures and event information. 

Remote from schools

Remote from IPERC's RGA Program

This summer, we worked with our partner school, Bishop Ready High, to create a flexible online program for remote students in China. This program is intended to allow international students to take their required U.S. courses through Ready Global Academy. 

The program will allow students to overcome time differences and continue to receive credits from U.S schools at a normal pace. Many of our partner schools have accepted this program which has lead to the success of many of our students.
