my 16 old sone spent 6 weeks
April 09, 2026by: Yusuf Abdullah - EgyptProgram: High School Language & Cultural Immersion in China for Teens
My 16-year-old son spent 6 weeks in Beijing with GAC's high school program. We were nervous sending him alone, but the homestay family treated him like their own child. He studied Mandarin in the mornings and went on cultural tours in the afternoons — the Great Wall, Summer Palace, and even a visit to a local high school. He came home speaking more Chinese than after two years of classes here, and with a second family in China. The 24/7 supervision gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend for any teen wanting a real cultural experience.
Best summer of my life

I'm 19 and this was my first time traveling without my parents. Honestly, I was nervous, but the coordinators made everything feel safe and fun. My homestay mum taught me how to make dumplings, and my host brother taught me to play basketball. Classes were actually interesting — my teacher made learning Mandarin feel like a game. Made friends from all over the world. I'm already planning to go back for a full gap year after graduation. I learned more, experienced more and was way more more different than i have heard about China.
Came home with proper Chinese

when your mother's language is Mandarin and your father's language is English you get confused of which one to learn and speak in your life. I joined the high school program of Go Abroad China to improve my Chinese language skills and feel it. the experience was pretty smooth from application to visa and host family. definitely recommended if you want to re-gain your Chinese skills
