Chinese Summer course for Young Students in Shanghai

Accommodation

If you decide upon the Full Camp option, you will benefit from total immersion in the Chinese language, living with fellow language students in our school’s residential centre. The complex is around 20 minutes away from the school by public transport, in an area with many restaurants and shops.

Rooms come in different sizes and styles, and you will have your own room or share with one or two other international students, who will be the same gender and around the same age as yourself. The apartments all have TVs, air-conditioning, fully-equipped kitchens and washing machines.

Or if you’ve come to China with your family, you will return to them each day after your Chinese lessons.

Supervision

Away from the classroom, all activities are supervised. For those students living in the residence, a monitor will stay with you in the apartment at the weekends and during the evenings, always on hand if you need anything. Slightly older students are afforded more freedom and don’t have monitors living with them.

Activities

During your time on this Chinese course for Young Students, you can really experience China and Chinese culture! Four times a week, afternoon activities such as Chinese calligraphy classes, martial arts, Chinese cookery and visits to acrobatics shows allow you to appreciate Chinese traditions. You can also join in with a variety of sporting activities, including football, swimming, table-tennis and badminton.

In the evenings, movie nights, barbeques and parties give you the ideal opportunity to get to know other language students from all over the world! Once a week, full-day trips will reveal the magic of China to you! Our excursion to the Great Wall of China is particularly popular with students.

Suitability

This is fantastic course for anyone between seven and 16 years of age, who wants to learn Chinese and experience the fascinating land of China! All students, from beginners to advanced learners, are welcome, as the course caters for a range of levels. Please note students aged 7-11 yrs must be accompanied by their parents and should arrange their own accommodation.

How to get there

Booking an airport transfer with our school, for a small extra fee, is highly recommended. A representative of the school will wait to pick you up at the airport, from where they will take you directly to the school, to receive your welcome pack.
