As the new school year unfolds, our household is bustling with activity. In addition to our daughter and son, we are also hosting two students, making it a lively and dynamic environment. While the chaos might seem overwhelming, one thing remains constant – our belief in the importance of assigning chores to our children.
Hi friends,
I am writing to ask you for a favor that could make a huge difference in someone’s life.
Premier Education Partners (PREP) is looking for Christian families who can host a Chinese student at Hill Country Christian School, St. Dominic Savio High School, Concordia High School, Regents School of Austin or Westwood High School for 2023-2024 school year. The host family will get a monthly stipend as well as hands on support from the PREP team.
As you know, we are an organization with a mission to change lives together. By hosting a Chinese student, you will not only provide them with a loving home and a quality education, but also share with them the good news. 
If you are currently hosting a student, I want to say “thank you” for your faithful services! I sincerely hope you will continue next year. 

To our students in the Austin area,

You are cardinally invited to join 2022 Chinese New Year Celebration hosted by the Wu family!

There is no show and performance this year due to the pandemic, but you are welcome to stop by to join us for a family style lunch on Feb. 5th, Saturday. We are going to make dumplings together and cater some yummy Chinese food from a local restaurant.

The following blog was originally posted on Brentwood Christian School, one of PREP’s partner schools in Austin. 

It can be easy in today’s climate to lose sight of all the positivity and kindness that is going on all around us. The truth is, when you turn off the television and log out of social media you will begin to see all of the amazing and wonderful things happening in our community. Today we want to spotlight an act of kindness and the difference some of our students are making in and around the Austin Area.

Premier Education Partners (PREP) is a Christian hosting program for international students who desire to gain a better education in the U.S.. PREP has a long standing partnership with Brentwood Christian School as we both believe in the importance of offering an academically rich, Christ-centered environment for our students. We have a number of wonderful international students that attend BCS and are very active not only academically, but also in fine arts and athletics.

Students, 

 

Tomorrow I will fly to Montana, to join a group of men, for the LeaderTrek 2020. Together we will do backpack hiking in the Glacier National Park for five days and about 50 miles. 

 

This is my third time taking such a trip in the past three years, but will be the first time in 2020 I travel by air. Almost all of my plan in 2020 was cancelled due to the pandemic: winter camp, No-fear camp, climbing a 20,000 ft mountain and celebrating my 20th anniversary of marriage… … 

-A LETTER TO THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Mrs. Johnson,

First of all, please allow me to express my sincere thanks to you. Remember at the end of last school year, Brentwood Christian School offered an extra summer tutoring which required every student who had a significant grade drop to attend which lasted two weeks. I sent you an email, explaining my situation and my desire to have a restful summer. You responded to my email kindly and told me that I have your permission to exempt the tutoring. With that two weeks of resting, I was able to adjust myself and made a lot of progress during summer. I couldn’t have had such a productive summer without that two weeks for me to adjust physically and emotionally.
