About Program

Our high school summer program is specifically for high school aged international students between the ages of 13 – 18. In this program, they come to China and we arrange for them to study Chinese at a university campus or language school. Language lessons are usually for the earlier part of the day; in the afternoons the kids are integrated into the Chinese culture, we take them to visit a pre-selected Chinese high school for cross cultural exchange. We want our international candidates to see for themselves how their Chinese peers approach high school life, their learning culture as well as participating in activities altogether.

Other benefits include:

- A unique way for high school kids to travel to China with purpose
- An exciting combination of language lessons, daytime trips and cultural activities
- Home-stay accommodation
- Close supervision from our coordinators particularly for candidates under the age of 18
- Opportunity to mingle with Chinese peers

My first trip to China

I had always dreamed of visiting China, and when one of my classmates planned to join GoAbroadChina's high school language and cultural immersion program, I couldn’t wait to go with them. We were both excited to explore China, learn the language, and experience its rich culture. However, for some personal reasons, my friend ended up not continuing with the program, and I decided to go on my own. At first, I was a little nervous about going solo, but I ended up having an amazing experience. The language lessons were really engaging, and I was able to improve my Chinese skills more than I expected. I also had the chance to immerse myself in Chinese culture by visiting historical landmarks, trying new foods, and interacting with local students. The program’s support was excellent, and I always felt welcomed and guided throughout the journey. Looking back, I’m so satisfied with the results and the memories I made. My friend, who initially planned to go, regretted not following through with the program after hearing about all the fun and valuable experiences I had. Overall, GoAbroadChina gave me the chance to learn, grow, and explore China in a way I never imagined.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?

Learn Chinese comportable by GoAbroadChina

Participating in the High School Language & Cultural Immersion Program in China by GoAbroadChina was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Living with a homestay family made me feel like I was truly part of their household—they welcomed me warmly and treated me like one of their own. Sharing this journey with a friend who was also in the program made it even more special, as we learned and explored together every step of the way. From practicing Mandarin at the dinner table to celebrating traditional Chinese festivals, every moment felt genuine and unforgettable. My homestay family became my second family, teaching me not just their language but also their values, customs, and way of life. I loved bonding with my host siblings, helping to prepare meals, and even joining in community activities with them. The warmth and care they showed me made it easy to adapt and feel at home in a foreign country. Having my friend by my side also provided a sense of comfort and camaraderie as we navigated new experiences together. This program gave me not only language skills but also a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and a newfound appreciation for global connections. Looking back, I can confidently say that I didn’t just visit China—I truly belonged there, thanks to the love and support of my host family and the friendships I formed.

My Goal is Learning but it's like a Vacation at the sametime.

While I was in China, I not only learned Chinese in a fun and engaging way but also got to experience the country’s rich culture firsthand. The classes were well-organized, and the teachers made learning both enjoyable and effective. I loved exploring the local sights, tasting authentic Chinese cuisine, and participating in cultural activities like calligraphy and tea ceremonies. The staff was incredibly supportive, ensuring we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. I also met other students from around the world, which made it even more special. It was the perfect blend of learning, adventure, and cultural exploration. If you’re thinking about studying Chinese, I can recommend GoAbroadChina—it’s an experience you won’t forget.

GoAbraodChina is really amazing

The GoAbroadChina High School program was an incredible eye-opening experience. Living in China completely shifted my perspective. I was constantly challenged to step outside my comfort zone, adapting to a new culture and language. The cultural immersion was profound – from experiencing the bustling markets to appreciating the intricate details of ancient temples. I was fascinated by the Chinese business mindset, emphasizing long-term relationships and collective responsibility. It was a stark contrast to the more individualistic approach I was accustomed to. This program instilled in me a deep appreciation for diversity and a broader understanding of the global landscape. I returned home with a newfound sense of independence and a more open mind, ready to navigate the complexities of the real world.
