Since 1999, the Yew Chung International Summer School has gained a reputation around the world for its unique approach to teaching Mandarin Chinese (Putonghua) through immersion and cultural experience. The programme has been attracting an escalating number of students from Europe, North and South America, Australia, South East Asia and Hong Kong over the years.

This year, students will experience China’s two different personalities and cultures – the “Metropolis” and the “Wilderness” through visiting Beijing and Inner Mongolia. The programme is an integration of formal language lessons and specially designed cultural activities. Field trips and excursions will further enhance students’ interest and open up their heart and minds to the great treasures of China’s modern and ethnic cultures.
 

2009 Parents’ Feedback…
“I came from Ukraine to learn Chinese. I like this place because there are a lot of meaningful things to see. My favorite lesson is culture…because I can learn so much about China.” (Volodymyr Katkalov, 11 years old)

 
2008 Parents’ Feedback…

“Bianca returned home after having had the best time of her life. She not only gained a better understanding of Mandarin, but the confidence to actually speak Mandarin amongst the general public…Thank you. Look out next year, she cannot wait to return!” Mrs. Brown said.
“Rachel has expressed that the program has created her interest in learning Mandarin which is excellent…it is a pleasure to see her writing her limited Chinese characters in the ‘correct’ stroke sequence.” Mrs. Lim said.
