Group Programs

If your group has a pre-designed program and itinerary in mind, China Study Abroad staff will work tirelessly to accommodate your specifications. Past group programs have included participants that required translators, detailed travel plans, conventions, and a particular curriculum. China Study Abroad is capable of designing programs to fit those of traveling musical groups, scholars interested in Chinese history, corporations, and Chinese cultural hobbyists of all kinds. Let China Study Abroad design your group’s China experience.

China Study Abroad will design your group’s accommodations, travel plans, transportation, meeting centers, lectures, workshops, activities, excursions, research trips and site inspections. Our local resources, experience in the industry, and skilled staff are sure to benefit your group. We can design programs to meet nearly any time, budget and size requirement.

Along with your program’s particular design, group participants will also receive all the benefits of studying with China Study Abroad such as insurance, 24-hour service, CSA welcome pack, and free internship and teaching placement services. We ensure that all tailor-made programs will meet China Study Abroad’s high standards. If we can’t do it right, we won’t do it at all.

Because of the highly specific design of this program and additional time needed to organize and design program details, clients are encouraged to apply at least two months in advance.

High School Programs

At China Study Abroad we believe that the benefits of a global education should not be limited to university students. With this in mind, CSA now offers programs tailored to high school students between the ages of 13 and 17. Speaking Mandarin is an essential tool for people looking to succeed in a globalized world. Enrolling in the CSA high school program gives ambitious, young students a leg up in learning an incredibly difficult, but increasingly essential skill.

Because high school students are limited by their school schedule, CSA offers flexible program start dates and program lengths during the fall and spring semesters as well as numerous summer programs. We offer a wide assortment of courses to fit everyone’s needs. They range from being as short as one week for students looking to whet their linguistic palate during school holidays, to year-long programs for students taking a gap year, and everything in between. Many high school students join CSA during their summer holidays, for their first-time experiences of living abroad and taking university-level courses.

The CSA high school program offers the unique opportunity for gifted and ambitious high school students to take challenging university-level courses. Many high school students are eager for a taste of the college experience -- CSA gives these students the chance to see what college is like in China! Very few college students have the opportunity to study abroad during college, let alone while still in high school. This is the perfect program for mature and adventurous high school students looking to add some valuable life experience while impressing college admissions boards everywhere. By enrolling in the CSA high school program, students can even get a head start on their college careers because most language programs include transferable university credit and official transcripts, depending upon the duration of study.

Students enrolled in the high school language program are given the option of living in campus dorms or with a family homestay, which includes breakfast and dinner every weekday. As with all CSA programs, students will receive 24-hour customer service, regular supervision, emergency care and insurance, a mobile phone with local SIM card, fun activities on the weekends, and a welcome pack.

Admissions into the high school programs are significantly more competitive, as applicants need to demonstrate a high-level of maturity and academic ability. For a fun vacation, please check the travel section. Only high school students prepared to take the early leap into college life should apply. Additional requirements such as a personal essay or recommendation letters may be necessary for admission, depending upon school and length of study.
