Hi, this is Soo Min Lee!
I went to SWA for two years and some summers.
If you are looking for school with lots of fun experiences, this is the school.
Also SWA has ESL classes, learning American culture as well as the language.
I loved eating experiences at SWA.
You just got to go and find out for yourselves.

Very nice teachers, school time is great. Everything after classes finish is horrifying, I’m talking about the dorm life. School doesn’t care about dorm students. The overprotective environment is there not because they care about students safety, they just neglect the wants and needs of students and are lazy to change anything. Students can’t go anywhere before Friday. And if you go, you have to find someone to go with you. So if on Wednesday night you ran out of pads or snacks or whatever, suck it up. And then on Friday you want to go out to get stuff which you need but your only two friends left home for the weekend, well bummer wait until next weekend. You can’t order food before Friday either. I understand if they won’t let 13year old go somewhere by himself, but if you are 16-17 you should have at least an opportunity to check in and check out by yourself to get yourself pads if you need to and not stress out about finding someone who would go with you somewhere.
Along with this, in order to foster the power to survive the 21st century, schools in the future will learn basic and basic knowledge and skills, as well as foster thinking and judgment, expressive skills, and willingness to learn It is important to emphasize the improvement of the relationship, the formation of various human relationships, and the formation of habits. It should be noted that these can be effectively fostered through various language activities and collaborative learning activities.
In the future, it is required to train teachers who support such new learning and to establish an image of teachers who will continue learning.
