Students are encouraged to enjoy all that Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area have to offer. Various suggestions are offered for taking advantage of special events on public holidays, and school staff can provide any assistance that may be necessary. Information is provided on the innumerable activities going on, as well as places of interest such as museums, art galleries, etc. The aim is to encourage students to make discoveries, to immerse themselves in the environment and the culture. We also organise social & theme parties to help students to mix, gain knowledge about each other's backgrounds and make lasting friendships.
