“Though my daughter Shangrun (Wendy) graduated in 2018, she still constantly reminisces about the love and care you all had shared with her while she was studying and living at LuHi! Her experience at LuHi not only reminds her daily that she was loved and cared for in another family from another country, but also pushes her to remain disciplined and focused at school. This helped her to develop strong interests in certain fields and eventually, she was accepted into her dream college – NYU! Wendy is grateful for your school and your guidance which pointed her in the right direction.”

“Though Cindy only studied at LuHi for a year and a half, the time that she was there has been extremely meaningful and helpful. Cindy had hands-on experience in American education at LuHi which enabled her to adjust seamlessly into college. Cindy loved all of her teachers and friends at LuHi as well as her academic experience. Long Island Boarding was also able to provide a wonderful living environment for Cindy!”
