Buffalo Cove Academy & Campis located on a secluded spot in the mountains of North Carolina. The nearest town, Lenoir, is almost twenty miles away. The school is principally an independent Christian institution; however, because it caters to international students, it maintains an open policy. The campus is picturesque, and to enter the premises one has to cross a bridge spanning Buffalo Creek. Facilities are limited, in part due to its location on a hillside, but it can still house about forty boarding students, along with some staff. The institutiton also caters to day only students from the local area. The institution also runs summer camps during the off-season, and camp sessions for foreign students during holidays in the middle of the school year. It also provides special programs for English As A Second Language (ESL), and engages in placement activities for students from all over the world. It is a small institution with a very particular approach, and it is not suitable for eveybody. However, its placement program is expanding, and it can do a good job helping parents find suitable institution for their children. Its small sizes almost guarantees that the student will receive a high degree of personal attention. It is, however, a new institution, and its track record is limited. On the other hand, the management team has considerable experience in education. The facilities, recently acquired, is undergoing major improvements, and the campus could be a very cozy environment for the kids that fit into its structured setting.
Although this institution is not currently active in its own campus, it is now engage in an effort to run a summer program for international students and a summer camp for locals at the site of the Patterson School. This can turn out to be an interseting combination. The campus, however, is not owned by the Patterson School, but by the Patterson Foundation that is leasing the property in a temporary basis. The good thing about the programs of this institution is their pricing. In order to lure a clientele, they have to give good service at a very reasonable price--a tried and true marketing approach. Take advantage of it now.
