Become a Cultural Ambassador
Campion Academy welcomes students from around the world to promote international friendship and understanding. High-achieving Campion Academy students are selected to work as International Ambassadors. The Ambassadors meet with international students daily to provide tutoring, cultural lessons, conversation practice, and to help them integrate into student life and activities on campus.
As members of the International Club, students prepare presentations, activities, food and more to teach others about their culture at school and in the local community. Campion Academy encourages students to be involved in a variety of extracurricular activities and has excellent programs in music, sports, service, and an active Outdoor Club. |
I played on the soccer team. It was fun because I loved soccer and I made good friends who were really helpful to me. We took a trip to a soccer tournament and that really helped us bond together. --Aahwan

I'm a freshman ELL student at Campion Academy. It's been a year since I came here. Since ELL has been my favorite subject, and I study it very hard, I feel I'm getting better and better with my English. --Kaname
