International Students

This is a featured video done by FIOS Channel 1 anchor man Mike Stevens about the robust International Student program at Upper Room Christian School. In it he interviews several students from China, Korea and Europe as well as the Principal and Head Master of the school.

As an I-20 approved school Upper Room attracts students from all over the world making it a truly multi-cultural environment for students to learn in. We have a strong ESL class and provide educational trips to immerse the overseas students in the American culture and way of life.

The combination of I-20 students and local students create a global atmosphere for students to share their ideas and cultures enriching the learning environment and modeling our global economy. It's wonderful to go into the lunch room and see students from all over the world talking, laughing and making lifetime connections!

Taekwondo

Upper Room Christian School is proud to partner with Premier Taekwondo in offering an awesome after school program. The club meets twice a week and they work on forms, self defense, weapons and physical fitness. The begin and end each session with prayer and a scripture meditation.

The program runs in 10 week intervals and belt promotions are held twice a year at Premier's studio in North Babylon. Master Rob Gravel and his instructors do a great job with the students. They are firm but gentle and compassionate. They take the time to get to know each student and their strengths and weakness.

At the end of the year the club's students attend our school's annual sports banquet at the beautiful Chatteau Le Mer in Lindenhurst where we have a motivational speaker come and address all of our athletes and the athletes receive their awards while enjoying a wonderful four course meal with their family and friends.

Grace and peace,
