What is a Conversation Pal?  
A conversation pal is an American student who is about the same age as the participant. The conversation pal will work with the tutor to provide conversation practice sessions in everyday situations. They may visit a mall and go on a scavenger hunt , visit a restaurant and order a meal, prepare a meal at home in the kitchen, play a game that requires conversation, discuss political, educational, scientific or other topics depending upon areas of interest and conversation levels. The conversation pal is there to be a friend and help the participant improve his English conversation skills!

Homeschooling Option:
The experience of homeschooling is a unique educational opportunity that combines an intimate learning setting with real world learning as well. Compass USA offers high school students the opportunity to further their academic development through our American Homeschool Program. Help students go from frustrated to excited about learning!

Students study the basic subjects with their host families in a variety of learning settings. At home, language arts, resource reading and discussion for science and history are explored.  Mathematics and computer skills are also studied daily.   In addition to working in the quiet setting of the host family home, small groups of students from several homeschool families meet together regularly to study specific science, social studies and math topics.   Guest speakers, project learning, and field trips are often part of the group learning experience.  Finally, participants join other students of all ages to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities each week including various sports, arts,and other interests.   This is a unique learning opportunity that will give students a rich experience beyond what they can learn in the ordinary classroom.
