PROGRAM
What Your School Trip to Beijing Includes
Every school trip program is custom-built around your curriculum goals, your students’ age and level, and your dates. No fixed template — we design it together with your MFL department or trip coordinator.
🏫 Mandarin Classes
3 hours daily in small groups (max 6). Students placed by proficiency level — beginners and intermediate learners study separately. Our communicative teaching method focuses on real-world practice: students learn vocabulary in class and use it in Beijing the same day. Personalized study report with learning outcomes for each student.
🎭 Cultural Activities
Calligraphy, cooking, kung fu, tai chi, paper cutting, Peking opera masks. Every activity connects to the morning lesson — if students learn food vocabulary in class, they practice it at the cooking workshop. Cultural exchange happens naturally: your group works alongside students from 40+ countries.
🏛️ Beijing Excursions
Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace. Plus hutong rickshaw tours, 798 Art District, and tech parks. All guided excursions by private vehicle with dedicated driver — no public transport for student groups.

STUDENT PERSPECTIVE
What Students Actually Remember
The itinerary is what your school board sees. Here’s what stays with your students:
The food
Peking duck, hand-pulled noodles, hotpot, street food they never imagined. Pizza and burgers in Sanlitun for less adventurous eaters.
The shopping
“Unbelievable prices” — Silk Market, Wangfujing, and local malls are a highlight for every group.
The people
Students from 40+ countries. Your group won’t be isolated — they’ll eat, explore, and make friends from Korea, Japan, France, and more.
The language moments
First time ordering food in Chinese. First successful bargain. First local laugh. Real-world practice that builds confidence — by day 3 or 4.
Staying connected
Full internet at school. Hotel needs VPN for Google/Instagram — we send setup guide before departure. WhatsApp works without VPN.
For younger students (7–12): we adapt activities to their age — think treasure hunts through hutongs, simplified cooking challenges, and buddy systems with our staff for extra support and safeguarding.
SOCIAL PROOF
What Other Schools Say
Case Study: European Educator Group, Summer 2025
7 students + 1 educator from a European language training center. Two weeks in Beijing — daily Mandarin classes, cultural activities, city exploration. All complete beginners; by week two they handled greetings, food ordering, and bargaining in Chinese.
The accompanying teacher noted that by day four, students were ordering lunch in Chinese on their own — a level of progress rarely seen in a classroom setting back home.
