What makes China different
Beijing, with English-language coursework set against the world's deepest civilisational reading list.
Our Beijing programme sits at the boundary between Mandarin daily life and an English academic week. Mornings are formal English instruction at a Cambridge-aligned partner school in Haidian. Afternoons rotate between calligraphy, Beijing Opera workshops, Mandarin survival classes, and supervised visits to the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the 798 art district. Students are paired with a local Chinese conversation partner of the same age; many friendships last beyond the camp.
