The classes were intensive but rewarding, and the teachers always encouraged participation. The extracurriculars, like calligraphy, tea ceremonies, and city tours, brought the culture to life.

As a high school student,

As a high school student, I was nervous but excited about the idea of studying abroad. Choosing the High School Abroad in China program with Go Abroad China was the best decision I’ve made. From the moment I arrived, I felt supported and welcomed. The staff helped me adjust to my new surroundings, and the host family I stayed with was incredibly kind and made me feel like one of their own.

The Chinese language classes were fun and interactive—not like normal school at all! We got to visit local high schools, participate in traditional activities like calligraphy and martial arts, and explore amazing cities like Beijing and Shanghai. I made friends from both China and around the world, and I learned to be more independent, confident, and open-minded.

This program wasn’t just about learning a language—it was about discovering a new culture, challenging myself, and growing up in the best way possible. If you’re a high schooler thinking about doing something different, I say go for it!

Joining the high school program in China

Joining the high school program in China was the best decision of my life. I not only improved my Chinese drastically, but also made friendships that I’ll never forget. The classes were fun and interactive—way better than what I expected—and the cultural activities like visiting temples, cooking Chinese food, and doing calligraphy made learning super exciting.

The homestay experience was my favorite part. Living with a Chinese family helped me understand the culture on a deeper level and gave me the confidence to speak Mandarin every day. The program staff were really friendly and made sure we felt safe and supported at all times.

If you’re a high school student looking for an unforgettable adventure that actually teaches you something valuable, this is it. I returned home more independent, more culturally aware, and with a new love for Chinese culture.

absolutely unforgettable.

Attending the GAC high school program in China was absolutely unforgettable. As a high school student, I got to study Mandarin in the mornings and then explore Chinese culture in the afternoons — from visiting local high schools to learning how to cook traditional dishes.

What made it so special was how the program mixed language learning with real cultural immersion. We didn’t just sit in classrooms; we experienced China by living it — through homestays, cultural activities, and trips to places like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I made international friends, practiced Mandarin daily, and returned home with a new level of confidence and independence.

If you're a teen looking for something more meaningful than a typical school break, this is it.

I came back with better language skills, new friends, and amazing memories. Highly recommend it to any teen looking for something unique and meaningful!

Studying abroad in China

Studying abroad in China as a high school student was way beyond what I expected—in the best way possible. The classes were super interactive and helped me improve my Chinese fast. What made it even better was how much we got to explore — visiting temples, trying new foods, and even attending a local Chinese high school for exchange days.

The homestay experience felt like having a second family. My host parents were so kind and helped me adjust to everything quickly. I also made friends from around the world, and now I have people I keep in touch with from different continents.

This program gave me confidence, independence, and a whole new perspective. I’d recommend it to any high school student looking for something exciting and meaningful.

Pros
  • good support
  • legal documentation
