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

The cultural activities, like calligraphy and tea ceremonies, made me appreciate China even more. I made wonderful friends from different countries, and we had so much fun learning.

A Life-Changing Journey: My Experience with GoAbroadChina's Cultural Immersion Program

When I joined GoAbroadChina’s High School Language & Cultural Immersion Program, I didn’t know what to expect. At first, learning Mandarin felt challenging, but the teachers and locals were so kind and patient. I stayed with a host family, and they treated me like one of their own, showing me their traditions and way of life. One of my favorite experiences was learning calligraphy—it taught me patience and focus. I also joined a tea ceremony, where I saw how much respect the Chinese people have for their culture. Throughout the program, I learned not just a language but also important values like discipline and respect. This experience changed me, and I now admire the Chinese culture and people even more.

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?
The sea cucumber. I love it
Pros
  • A unforgetable experience
  • Learn Mandarin in a Real-World Setting
