Top destination facts

Your students will be immersed in one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. The USA is a 'melting pot' of culture. In addition to Native Americans who were already living on the continent, the population of the United States was built on immigration from other countries. American culture has a number of expressions and has been influenced by African, Native American, Asian, Polynesian and Latin American people. As a result, you will find many social subcultures in different parts of the United States.

At the federal level, the United States has no official language, however English is considered de facto national language. Unsurprisingly, given its vast diversity of cultures, over 300 languages are spoken. Sadly, most languages native to the U.S territory have now become extinct. Surviving native language is threatened by mainstream culture.

Students will love working their way through the unique blend of cuisine in the USA. Due to its vast size, the cuisine depends largely on geographic location. For example, in the state of Louisiana, their cooking is known for its use of cajun spice. American food however commonly uses ingredients such as turkey, corn and maple syrup.

With stunning landscapes such as the Grand Canyon and Yosemite national park; to the world-famous cities of New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, the USA is a country full of contrasts and it offers something to meet every learning outcome.

"As a result of this trip, we have three students considering picking up mechanical engineering at university, and a host of students considering STEM-related A-Levels. An action-packed, awe-inspiring week away. I can't wait to go back next year!"

School’s out and summer is here, which means it’s time to start the job search if you’re a recent graduate.

For the PGA TOUR University Class of 2024, the players who finished Nos. 6-25 didn’t have to worry about any job interviews, as they earned exempt status on PGA TOUR Americas for the North America Swing. For everyone else, they had to go back and take one more class, this one at PGA TOUR Americas Q-School where the top nine players from each of the six sites earned exempt status for the remainder of 2024.

Let’s take a look at 10 newcomers to watch this week at The Beachlands Victoria Open presented by Times Colonist, as they join the race for the Fortinet Cup.

Zheng finished No. 14 in the final PGA TOUR University Ranking after his strong play to close out the season.
