Welcome to August House Programs!
AUGUST HOUSE, Director
Leroy Hazelton
My wife, my son, and I would like to welcome you to our home on Martha's Vineyard,
MA.
We moved here in 1967 when I began teaching in the local high school.
For twenty eight years I taught all levels of English and when I retired, I directed
and developed the language program for August House on the island.
During these
last years I have helped many students become better prepared to enter American
schools. My twenty eight years of experience added to my ten years at August
House have helped me understand the unique problems that Asian students face
when coming to America.
Besides explaining and teaching the essential skills of reading, composition,
vocabulary, and note taking, I explain how American schools are different from
their own schools.
Because the systems are so very different, it is vital that
the students understand this before the school year begins, not after.
The first days of school are often the most confusing. What I show them makes
that difficult time easier for them.
Our home is in a very quiet part of Vineyard Haven and was built by us in
1970. It follows a classic American colonial style and is comfortably
decorated with antiques. Students who have been here marvel at the historic feel
in the house.
After rising at 8:30, students have class until 12:30.
Classes start after lunch at 2:00 and generally continue until 5:30. at times
we change the schedule to accommodate special activities.
After dinner there is a study hall each evening until 9:30 when I answer their
questions and review the day's work.
My family enjoys having students live with us and we look forward to your productive
stay in our home.
