I am currently a sophomore at soka and loving this school so much so far.
One of the greatest things about soka is the opportunity to go abroad and experience many different aspects of the world.
For the winter block, we have Learning Cluster in which students create classes based on their passion and interest. Our school offers grant to help our reserch. I was really fortunate to go to India this winter for my Learning Cluster. Our Learning Cluster group conducted a reserch and interview on "Tibetan poeple's struggle for Identity" in Dharamsala, India where the Tibetan exile community is located. It was such a great opportunity to interact with local people there and have great dialogue with them. I was able to do successful reserch on how Tibetan people preserve their identity and move forward for their future.
We also have a unique study abroad program which requires all students to go study abroad for 1 semester in junior year. SOKA offers 4 languages, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and French. I am going to Beijing, China next semester. I am very excited for my study abroad next year.
Just like these two opportunities, SOKA provides many great curriculums that broaden my perspectives.
