Cultural Care’s Au Pair Education - http://www.aupaireducation.com/
Au Pair Education is a resource to assist au pairs in fulfilling their educational component and is offered by Cultural Care Au Pair as a value-added service to our au pairs and host families. We provide information on hundreds of colleges and universities as well as coordinate exciting and educational courses through our partners in higher education.
Experiencing America Classes
Au Pair Education has partnered with accredited colleges across the U.S. to offer educational, affordable and convenient weekend classes. Classes are being held in six U.S. cities in the summer and fall of 2008.
Per the U.S. Department of State regulations, all au pairs must complete not less than six semester hours (or their equivalent) of academic credit in formal educational settings at accredited U.S. post-secondary institutions. Successful completion of this class will provide participants with 3 of the 6 required semester hours of academic credit.
Class Fee: $350 Credits Earned: 3
