Program Reviews

As a high school student, studying in Beijing opened my eyes to a whole new world. The classes were designed with teens in mind — interactive and practical — and the field trips were the highlight of my week. We didn’t just read about China’s history, we visited the Great Wall, ancient temples, and even took calligraphy classes. I made friends from Europe, Asia, and North America. It was my first time away from home, and I felt safe, supported, and inspired. This program shaped my future in a way that no classroom alone ever could.

Joining the GAC internship program was a turning point for me. I interned with a dynamic tech company in Shanghai and gained hands-on experience in project development and team collaboration. The cultural immersion, networking opportunities, and support from the GAC staff were outstanding. This wasn’t just an internship—it gave me direction, confidence, and a stronger resume. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to grow professionally and personally. This program is perfect for anyone who wants more than just classroom.

Living with a host family while studying at a top Chinese university gave me the most immersive learning experience I could’ve asked for.

As a high school student, this program gave me a learning experience like no other. The Chinese classes were engaging and built for teens, and the cultural trips were so much fun. We got to see the Great Wall, try Tai Chi, and even make dumplings with locals. I gained a new language, a new group of friends, and so many memories. I’d recommend this to any teen who wants adventure and learning in one. This experience taught me independence and gave me friendships that I still treasure.

Interning in Shanghai with a Fortune 500 company was a game-changer for me. I worked on real projects, sat in international meetings, and learned more in 8 weeks than I could have in a classroom.

I would recommend this opportunity to anyone with interest in interning abroad in China for a better and unforgettable experience. I can't imagine that I did this experience.
