CHICAGO 2014 WINTER AND SUMMER PROGRAMS IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

TESTIMONIALS FROM ASE SUMMER PROGRAM The summer school program was wonderful due to the combination of the quality of the English language program, after-school and weekend activities, and the sensitivity and sincerity of the ASE (Advanced Solutions for Education) staff. I asked myself many times if there was anything missing from the program, but I could not find anything. I would like to thank everyone involved in the program.

MESUT M. TEACHER When I sent my son to the educational trip organized

by ASE, I never thought the program would be so full of different activities. I would like to thank everyone involved in such a great program for their overwhelmingly sense of responsibility, perfectionism, sincerity and sacrifice. I could not even imagine how intensive, sincere, and from every standpoint how productive the program turned out.

DR. YUNUS K. PARENT

With ASE one-month language program, I was able to improve my English and overcome my nervousness with speaking. Thank you very much, ASE staff.

BURAK B. STUDENT Before we came to Chicago, the ASE staff had organized a daily program down to hourly activities, but it never crossed my mind how friendly they would be towards us.

Besides the planned schedule, they had such big surprises for us that we could not even imagine. Thank you ASE. HAMDİ G. TEACHER

The recent summer immersion program for the students was a great success. The partnership between SOLEX and ASE created not only a great opportunity for both organizations but more importantly the students. Students were placed in already existing classes which allowed them to interact with many other people from various countries with only one language in common - English. Student at all levels excelled because of this opportunity as well as It was very enjoyable program. I think that ASE summer program improved my English the most.
