At The IDEAL School, you live 20 minutes from the nearest
town, Washougal, Washington. But you are still only 30-45 minutes from
a big city, Portland, Oregon. You get to live in a
peaceful setting, with 2 creeks, a variety of tall trees, and a gorgeous
view of Mt. Hood and the surrounding hills and valleys. You can focus
on learning and using your English in
the safe family environment of The IDEAL School.
You might be afraid of American city life—especially, the high crime rate.
Living in the city can be both exciting and scary. It is fun for many people to go shopping, higher in cities than in rural areas. People also feel more stress in the city than in the country. There is so much going on that they feel they can't handle it all.
Wouldn't you like to feel safe and still get to experience some of the exciting
things from the city without so much stress? You can at The IDEAL School!
Of course, we go into the city sometimes–usually once a week. Even then, we don't
want you to feel afraid, so we will help you have a safe experience. For
example, younger students go shopping with a friend. They have someone
with them to help them in case of any problems. Also, the teachers are
close by if any help is needed.
Before you choose a language school, you really should know how safe the area around that school is.
