*the school recently
moved from ChaoYang District to be closer to other Universities in Beijing
for our joint programs
The location is in HaiDian
District, Beijing (the University District in Beijing). This location
is ideal:
-
It is close to the
majority of the other schools and universities in Beijing (located in
HaiDian District).
-
We are just 10 minutes
away from the the University of International Relations campus and BLCU
(Beijing Language and Culture University)
-
However, the location is
also designed to give you the ideal learning environment: modern
classrooms in the student center, but close enough to Western amenities
in downtown.
-
......................................................................................................................
The area is close to the
University District, where you will find modern dining and shopping
tailored towards Westerners. A short distance away is the main bar
district popular among many foreigners. (this is a mere $1.25 taxi
ride away). Because we are relatively close to the center of Beijing,
major tourist attractions are not far away.

Our program is definitely an
intensive Chinese study abroad in China opportunity. Students learning
to speak Chinese will rise early before going into the classroom.
Intermittent activities and instruction will follow until lunchtime.
At lunchtime the class will eat together again and continue the learning
process at a local Chinese restaurant with the teacher. Remainder of
the lunch break will be free. Class will resume for two
hours of instruction and activities. Thereafter students may work on various
activities with their tutor or may relax. Extracurricular
activities will be from six to 8 p.m., twice per week. Sunday is a
free day. And Saturday will be excursions to popular tourist sites
coupled with Chinese learning en route.

Yes, it is accredited
through the University of International Relations a university in Beijing,
China. It is a widely recognized university in China, which has been
used to teach diplomats and civil servants language for the Chinese
government.
A placement test at
the end of the program is administered by the University of International
Relations. This will determine your level of accomplishment and
grade. A certificate of completion will be issued by the University of
International Relations. Although we can not guarantee every
institution will grant credit, we will work with all students to assist them
in obtaining credit.
What’s the difference between a certificate from another school or "Academy"
and our certificate?

In
short, it is not. We save your time and hassle and per hour
it's hard to find a better full-service study abroad in China package.
Compare programs carefully.
We spend a lot of money on
each student, compared with many other Chinese schools. Most Chinese
schools simply hire a teacher and buy books published from the same source.
We have generated our own proprietary materials both hard copy and
software-based. We believe computer-based training enhances and
augments the teacher and accordingly have invested in the computer lab.
For each student we invest hundreds of dollars in Chinese learning software
costs plus costs for the PalmPilot. We pay our teachers well (well
above average), thereby holding turnover to a minimum and maintaining
quality. We demand high standards from the teachers, and evaluate them
accordingly. Also our one-to-one tuition with a Chinese tutor costs
much more than the free language exchange other schools may offer.
What's
the difference between a Chinese tutor and a language partner or language
exchange?
Furthermore, as our mission
statement and philosophy states, we believe we give you more value for your
money than any other short-term Chinese program in China. If you come
to our Chinese school in Beijing with an open mind and apply yourself, we
will help you reach the highest level possible, one that can deliver the
equivalent of one year Chinese language study in the US higher education
system.
