Foreign Language Immersion Program

The Foreign Language Immersion Program (FLIP) works to further language acquisition by encouraging boys to take optional summer classes in an immersive experience abroad (or at recognized domestic immersion programs such as Middlebury-Monterey and Concordia). FLIP also seeks to increase Brunswick students’ appreciation of the cultures, traditions and perspectives that are different from their own.

Brunswick’s desire is for our students to become global citizens and to develop an awareness of the economic, social, and environmental concerns of our time. Our children’s world demands that they understand not only their own country, but other nations, cultures, languages, and religions around the globe. Upon successful completion of an accepted program, students earn the right to petition to advance in language study and/or move to the Honors/AP-level. The program will be a part of the students’ official Brunswick transcripts, where they will be listed as FLIP Scholars.

Our goal is to encourage every Upper Schooler to participate in this program prior to graduation, and to be able to pay for the travel expenses of every student who requires financial assistance.
