Approach publishes its own monthly newsletter. In each issue you can find many interesting stories from our students and teachers. There are also pictures from the excursions they go on and the activities in which they participate. Useful facts and important information are also included in every issue.

The following is a summary of some of the sections:

Students' Writing Corner – Selected students write articles on topics of their choosing.
A Little Bit of History – Included in this column are stories you don't always read about in history books – from obscure but influential political figures to the evolution of ice cream.

December Activities Scrapbook – Photos and comments about some of the activities our students participate in.
Tips of the Month – Approach teachers pass on some fun and helpful ways for you to improve your English.

Activities Calendar (back to top)

There are a variety of activities constantly happening at Approach to help our students get better acquainted with American life and culture.

We print a calendar every month of the different activities happening for that month and students often receive class credit for attending these events. For example, every month there are two or three popcorn movie sessions where our students can gather together in front of our giant television and watch a movie.

Also, on a monthly basis, we have an International Lunch day when students and staff members bring in food from their respective countries. There are also many games including ping-pong, chess, and golf tournaments on this day. We often visit the Museum of Fine Art , the Museum of Science, the Harvard Natural History Museum, the Boston Public Library or the Kennedy Library. We also like to try eating out at restaurants like Fire and Ice, The Hard Rock Café, or The Border Café. We take historic tours of Boston , go ice skating, skiing, bowling, play pool, attend concerts, plays, dances and parties at the local pubs. We like to have fun and give our students a taste of the city of Boston.
