What Makes Our School Trips Different From Others
More Than Just A Field Trip
Our visits to famous landmarks go beyond mere sightseeing. Students will be given tasks that encourage creative thinking, speaking with locals in Chinese, and problem-solving. It’s an opportunity to learn while exploring!
Teacher To Student Ratio
We maintain a low teacher-to-student ratio, providing at least one staff member as a chaperone for every 5-10 students on all field trips. Unlike other schools, we ensure close supervision and care for our students.
Integrated Learning
Our students have access to our online learning platform, which includes a library of Chinese lessons and tests. They can continue reviewing their lessons at home and further study Chinese even after leaving China.
Innovative Chinese Classes
We employ our own innovative teaching methods that make classes fun and highly engaging. This approach encourages students to learn actively and participate in the classroom, resulting in significant improvement in their Chinese skills.

My experience here has been all amazing. I like the teachers; they’re all experienced and really good. The other students are very nice too. I’m always interacting with the other students and nobody feels left out. It’s a really nice environment to learn.
ELIOT | Student
I enjoyed the activities we did. For example, the Saturday trip to Shanghai Financial Tower, the Bund and Shanghai museum with a teacher who taught us Chinese on the way was a great experience! Calligraphy was also another activity I really enjoyed.
