Au Pair Enrichment Program
About the Program
The Office of Community & Professional Education offers classes specifically created for Au Pairs seeking to develop and enhance their English language skills while living in the U.S. Each course is designed to provide a fun yet educational way for Au Pairs to practice and improve their English speaking skills, comprehension of the English language, grammar and vocabulary.
Additional classes will explore American customs, culture, history and entertainment. Au Pairs will engage in a variety of experiences and exercises in which they are given opportunities to learn through conversation, reading and writing.
All classes are held on the University of Richmond campus and taught by highly qualified instructors who utilize a variety of educational methods to lead effective and rewarding class sessions. Upon completion of the Au Pair Enrichment Program, each participant will be recognized with a Certificate of Achievement and will receive Continuing Education credits (CEUs).
