Beijing

Dates: Please contact us for more information.

Description: With an estimated population of around 15 million people, Beijing is a true metropolis and you will find the streets are always bustling with people. As the capital city of China there is plenty to do and sights such as the Great Wall are easily accessible in as little as 45 minutes by car.   

We have three Chinese schools in Peking, each offering high quality courses. Our Option 1 school is in the Haidian District, popular with students and intellectuals. The gardens of the former Forbidden City are home to our Option 2 school! Whilst our Option 3 school is in the central Chaoyang district, where the Olympic Park, built for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, is located!

You can learn Chinese at our Beijing Option 1 school for just one week, or a whole academic year! In addition to the popular Standard and Intensive courses, we also offer specialist courses such as Chinese and Work Experience. If you want to do a special Calligraphy course (writing Chinese characters) or Kong Fu whilst studying on another of our Chinese courses in Beijing, we can arrange this for you!

Highlights: Our school arranges at least one cultural activity per week, to help you get the most from your stay whilst you learn Chinese in Beijing. Activities include Chinese cookery and excursions to locations such as the Great Wall of China and the Summer Palace.
