| About A F International College |
| Our Philosophy |
| We believe that personal and academic growth will flourish in a
setting which nurtures trust and respect. At A F International College,
we require all members of the school community to act with integrity and
responsibility in every aspect of their lives. We also believe that the
transmission of knowledge, the encouragement of curiosity, the development
of rational thought, and the cultivation of responsible, honorable behavior
are the great ends of education.
In considering the needs of an
English language institute, we recognize that a school for international
students should be unique, in its own philosophy, purposes, organization,
and facilities. It should be able to recognize and deal with the challenges
of living in a new culture, and to meet the needs of a population that is
diverse in background, aspirations, developmental stages, and rates of growth.
Our instructional program provides students with opportunities to develop
basic English skills and to acquire the necessary knowledge to develop a
positive self-image and to foster academic, social, and personal growth.
We strive to provide a humanistic, student-centered approach to learning. |
