Real Stories from Real Students:
One of the biggest concerns of international students would be, “Will I be able to adjust in the new environment without proficient English skills?” My short answer is, “Yes, without a doubt.” My name is Seung-hee Han; I went to Gibault Catholic High School from 2008 to 2011. Just like other international students, I was young and scared. At this point, I’m going to be honest with you, I struggled. However, you are expected to struggle a little when you try something new. It’s an adventure! The faculty members at Gibault genuinely care about all of the international students. Every single member of the faculty and staff remembers specific information about each of the students, and they always try to have conversations with them to make sure that everything is going well. Also, the American students at Gibault are well-educated and well-behaved. If you have any questions in homework, or anything about their culture, they will explain kindly and help you as much as they can. Experiences in extracurricular activities at Gibault will give you even better opportunities to become close with other students and understand their culture. In terms of extracurricular activities, I was in soccer, cross country, and jazz band. By participating in these activities, I started to talk more and make friends, and I felt as if I was actually one of them, not just a strange international kid at Gibault. Although I did not have great skills to be on the teams, they accepted and welcomed me. Gibault also provides college level classes which will prepare you for your future academic endeavors. For example, I learned to be patient and steady in studying, developed my English grammar skills, and prepared for future college classes. I understand that it is a huge step to study abroad without your family and not speaking the native language, and therefore, you might be scared. I just want to let you know that you will survive well at Gibault without many difficulties. The small problems are nothing. Rather, they prepare you for the bigger world, college (and life). I highly recommend that you become part of the Gibault family and experience the new world along with good people! Good luck! Seung-hee Han Seoul, South Korea Class of 2011
