Bright Lights goes international! Make friends globally and share your interests with international students attending Bright Lights to learn the American culture and sharpen their English skills.

Approximately 65 Japanese students and 75 American middle school students will take classes together June 17-21, 2013, from 9 am-noon at Lux Middle School, 7800 High Street (near 79th and Van Dorn).

What people are saying about the International Program:

• "My daughters took the Broadway Bound class with the Japanese students, and they had a great time meeting kids their age from another country. Now they have penpals in Japan and wonderful memories of a fun week!"


• "Meeting the Japanese students this year opened up a new door for our son. He thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them and learn about their lives in Japan. Being able to devote extended time to the projects they worked on in class allowed him to have a sense of accomplishment and growth in the skills taught in class. He would love to come back again next year."


• "Now! Talk about fun---What could be better than cooking up a storm with kids of all ages and cultures! Try it!! You'll EAT IT UP!!!!!"



• "Absolutely loved the experience with the American and Japanese students. There is no greater experience than watching the youth of two different cultures come together, share and communicate with other."



• "This was one of my best Bright Lights experiences so far. The kids were a very engaging class that challenged themselves musically while at the same time connecting with the students from Japan. They were great hosts and enjoyed making music together."
