Student Life at LADO International Institute
At LADO International Institute, we are committed to providing a strong education in English as well as a happy and dynamic learning environment for our students. We organize field trips, manage home stays, and assist with apartment sharing to provide students with a sense of community and culture.
Field trip / Events / English Club
There are plenty of fun opportunities waiting for you!
As a student at LADO you will have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities such as spelling bees (orthography contests), international potlucks, holiday parties, and more! Field trips are part of the English Club, which is an initiative to encourage students to practice the language outside of the classrooms and in their free time.
