Summit Christian Academy (SCA) is home to fourteen foreign exchange home to 14 foreign exchange students. In 2007, SCA was approved by the Student and Exchange Visitor program of the Immigration & Customs Enforcement Agency to accept students from other countries. Since that time, SCA has hosted F-1 and J-1 students from Germany, South Korea, China, and Uganda.
One extraordinary student is Gyujoon (Guy) Hwang from South Korea. Guy came to the SCA in his sophomore year to experience as many aspects of life in America as possible. Now a senior, his American experiences have been captured and published in a book titled (translated) America, I’m Going to You.
Guy began writing in 2008. His journal entries were placed on a website that future exchange students are encouraged to visit. His helpful collection chronicles his experiences as a student in America. At his father’s suggestion, Guy worked with Chosun, a major South Korean newspaper and publisher, to print his journal entries in a book to help other exchange students adjust to life in America.
Each chapter is broken down by dates and topics that cover everything from Guy’s first time at a Royals baseball game to his favorite American holidays and cuisine. Guy’s entries include advice on academic, social, and emotional situations foreign exchange students may experience.
Guy Hwang will graduate from Summit Christian Academy in May. He holds a 4.09 GPA received an ACT score of 29, and hopes to attend St. Louis University to become a doctor.
Summit Christian Academy (SCA) is a nondenominational Christian school serving 700 students. Phenomenal growth and unprecedented support from the community have enabled the school to be distinguished as a leader for private Christian education in the Midwest region. Located on a 36-acre campus, SCA enjoys two facilities serving preschool through high school students. SCA is dually accredited by North Central Association and Association of Christian Schools International. Students participate in the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA).
