Duration of Program: 2-4 weeks

Description: SPI offers high quality foreign language immersion programs for high school students. Our programs are guided by experienced directors with small group sizes.

Unlike other study abroad companies that simply make travel, school, and lodging arrangements over the internet, SPI teachers and directors select high quality schools, excursions and homestay families based on direct experience.

Students are enrolled in a university or accredited language school and earn college credit by attending classes. After traveling to important overnight cultural sites, students live in a local home with a native speaking family. Host families understand that the student is there to learn the language. The host family facilitates the learning process by truly immersing the student into their language and culture.

Highlights: Students have overnight and day excursions to important cultural and historic sites. Excursions: Beijing, Great Wall, and day trips around Qingdao.

Academic credit is available. Students will receive 60-120 contact hours on their transcript that they may petition up to 3-9 hours of college credit.

Truly immerse yourself this summer with SPI in China!

SPI Study Programs International's Mission Statement: SPI educates students in foreign language, culture, and travel.
