My daughter came back a different person

My 15-year-old daughter spent 6 weeks in Beijing with GAC's high school program. I was nervous at first, but the coordinators sent updates and photos regularly. Her homestay family treated her like their own child – even celebrated her birthday with a traditional cake. She went from knowing zero Mandarin to ordering food, taking taxis, and even helping me translate during a video call. The weekend trips to the Great Wall and Forbidden City were unforgettable for her. She came home more confident, independent, and mature. Thank you, GAC – we're already planning her next trip.
