International Program
Hess sponsors trips around the world for students to visit English speaking countries and become immersed in an English-speaking environment. These trips are in addition to the normal Hess curriculum.
The most common of these is the "Camp Confidence" summer camp that is held at the Hess school in Singapore. Each year, around 360 students (and several NSTs and CTs, acting as camp leaders) take part in these week-long camps, usually held in the summer months of July and August.
Hess has also has study abroad programs in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and these can last up to 4 weeks. Hess also hosts trips to France and Japan for students engaged in learning French and Japanese.
Hess has no relation to the Hess gas station chain in the US.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“The cowboy ... is well on his way to becoming a figure of magnificent proportions. Bowlegged and gaunt, he stands as the apotheosis of manly perfection. Songs, novels, movies, magazines, and operettas have made the least inquiring of us well acquainted with his extraordinary courage, unfailing gallantry, and uncanny skill with gun or lariat. The farmer, meanwhile, sits stolidly on his tractor, bereft of romance and adventure.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
