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 Unforgettable Adventure in China

GoAbroadChina’s High School Language & Cultural Immersion program was the ideal experience for a teen like me. I got to explore China, visit breathtaking places, and learn about its rich culture in a fun and exciting way. Learning Mandarin wasn’t just about studying in a classroom—I practiced it daily while talking to locals and experiencing real-life situations. The cultural activities helped me understand Chinese traditions better. One of the best parts was making new friends from different countries, and together we explored famous landmarks and local markets. The homestay experience made me feel like a local, and it boosted my confidence in speaking Chinese. The program balanced education, travel, and fun so well that I was never bored. I felt safe, supported, and welcomed by the mentors and staff, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Every day was a new adventure, and I learned valuable life skills that I can use when i came back home. If you’re a teen looking for an unforgettable journey, this program is the best.

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.
