Modern Media

I wanted to write a quick review from the parent perspective regarding the Modern Media program with Chris Mei as the teacher. Our daughter selected this program since she thought it would be a great opportunity to travel Europe, learn new media skills, make new friends, as well as prepare her to be more independent for university next year. Thanks to Chris she learned so many new amazing media skills that will be a huge asset in high school as well as university presentations! The MEI staff were amazing at making sure the kids were always safe, stayed at amazing hotels/locations and had the right amount of school work with downtime to explore each new location. We will be sending our youngest daughter on a MEI trip to ensure she also gets to enjoy an amazing life experience like her older sister. Well done MEI and a special thanks to Chris!!

The media program is great for students that want to learn more about photography and videography while travelling around the world with a whole bunch of teenagers and amazing teachers to help with your academics. Media students also travel with ESP students which helps them bond with more people and make life long friendships. The teachers are very supportive and will make sure to give you all the help you need when completing projects. I highly recommend taking any form of MEI course, it is a great opportunity and everyone had a super fun time.

I had an experience of a lifetime traveling through Spain and Portugal with MEI academy. I met new people, learned incredible things and visited some truly amazing places. I use what I learned on a daily basis whether it is the street smarts I gained or the skills I grew, and when I look back on my trip I wouldn’t change a thing. If I had to provide any advice for those looking to go on the same journey I did, I would say be open to trying new things and bring some vitamin C! (You don’t want to get sick😂)

MEI was the best experience of my life. I had so many adventures, made so many news friends, and a new set of memories to last a lifetime. I recommend any high school student who is able to take this opportunity to TAKE IT! My life wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t go. I finally had the opportunity to invest in my passion for photography and videography, and I learned so many new media skills as well. If you’re on the fence about MEI, take my advice and just do it- you definitely won’t regret it!!
