Together they explore China first-hand, guided by program leaders whose passion is matched by their deep local knowledge.

We also offer our China Prep in NY program, which combines structured Mandarin language classes with an exploration of New York City's vast China resources for high school students. The goal of China Prep in NY is to deepen participants' understanding of China and Chinese through the lens and resources of New York City. CP in NY is also excellent preparation for travel to China.
