3 Cities Program

For students who want to experience as much of China as they can, CSA offers its 3 Cities Program in Beijing-Xi'an-Shanghai.

Summer Programs

Our summer programs offer participants the opportunity to receive intensive Chinese language instruction within an immersed cultural environment. Living for several weeks (depending on your choice of program) in the vibrant cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Xi`an, Qingdao, and Guilin, students use their Chinese to communicate in daily life activities and on the journey, improving both their fluency and pronunciation. Through rigorous small-group daily language lessons, it is expected that students will acquire the equivalent of a full academic year of Chinese. In the process, students gain a greater awareness and understanding of cultural differences and diversity.
