"I really did enjoy the activities on the weekend. After a long week of studying and going to class, CSA was able to offer very interesting trips around Beijing. So you do get a feel for the culture. For the short time I was there, I definitely saw more than I originally had expected. I Overall it was an experience I won’t forget."

3 Cities Program
|
|
For students who want to experience as much of China as they can, CSA offers its 3 Cities Program in Beijing-Xi'an-Shanghai.

Summer Programs
|
|
Our summer programs offer participants the opportunity to receive intensive Chinese language instruction within an immersed cultural environment. Living for several weeks (depending on your choice of program) in the vibrant cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Xi`an, Qingdao, and Guilin, students use their Chinese to communicate in daily life activities and on the journey, improving both their fluency and pronunciation. Through rigorous small-group daily language lessons, it is expected that students will acquire the equivalent of a full academic year of Chinese. In the process, students gain a greater awareness and understanding of cultural differences and diversity.

Custom Programs
At CSA we understand the individual nature of our students and their needs. Rather than restrict our program participants or try to push them toward courses that would make our life easier, we work with the individual to design an appropriate program. We give you the opportunity of tailoring your time in China to suit your needs and wants. Please feel free to e-mail us with your requirements and we will try to accommodate your requests.

Volunteer Programs
In addition to the NGO internship placements we currently offer, CSA is working closely with several organizations to offer flexible and worthwhile volunteer programs in China. One of the best ways to get to know locals and make a lasting difference is to give back to the community. In the spirit of service, and to provide our program participants with a range of unique experiences, we will soon offer a number of different opportunities to volunteer. Whether you have a weekend or a summer, we will have something for you
