AOI students went to the Irvine Lanes bowling alley for a fun field trip in April. They had a great time bowling and eating hot dogs. Irvine Lanes is only 5 minutes from AOI Campus and is right next to Boomers, an arcade and theme park that has miniature golf and laser tag. AOI has a field trip every month for students and teachers to attend.

Yesterday, April 7th 2011, AOI held a Charity Garage Sale in an effort to raise money for Earthquake and Tsunami victims of Japan. Many students donated used items throughout the past week to be displayed. We sold Pizza slices for charity as well.
Many people showed up to rummage around a classroom with isles of goods lined up on tables that are usually occupied by students. There was a sense of unity in the event as many Japanese students showed up to show support for their friends, families, and fellow Japanese people in Japan. We are excessively proud of the success of the garage sale as all proceeds go directly to the cities hit hardest by the disaster. We plan on having another Charity Garage Sale sometime in the future, we will keep you posted.

Local Cafes and Yummy Eats.

Our very own University Town Center which houses AOI offices and classrooms is home to delicious cafes and restaurants. Let’s start with the cafes that are walking distance from your classroom! If you’re craving a variety of hot or cold teas and fruity drinks (non-alcoholic!) then Cha For Tea is the place to be. For cravings of customizable frozen yogurt with a variety of toppings on a hot day then head over to Yogurtland! When you want to shop for healthy and delicious groceries then we have a Trader Joe’s right here at the University Town Center. And if all you want is a classic cup of freshly brewed coffee, or maybe a Caramel Caffe Latte with whipped cream and a cookie, then there is a Peet’s Coffee right here!
Our location is ideal for students who want to learn English and have plenty of convenient options for places to hang out with friends and meet local residents. There is even a movie theater and a fitness gym! So much convenience in one place, there must be something wrong with this place, right? Well the only flaw is that you won’t ever want to leave! 🙂 So if you’re not a registered student, come into our office for more information! or call us at (949)856-1700.
We hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Sara
