The high school summer intensive Chinese program is design to provide an intensive language learning opportunity and enriching cultural experience for high school students. Students will learn language and culture through a variety of fun and interactive mediums, including technology, cultural activities (martial arts, brush painting, Chinese music, etc), and field trips. It is our goal for students to gain a meaningful understanding of what modern day life is like for a student in China, and engage in dialogue comparing similarities and differences between Chinese and American lifestyles. It is our hope that as a result of participating in our program, that students will begin a journey of experiencing Chinese language and culture that they will continue after they leave the program.
