He learned real Mandarin and made friends from all over the world. The weekend trips to the Great Wall and Summer Palace were unforgettable. He came back more confident and independent. Thank you GAC!

My parents were nervous about sending me to China alone, but GAC made it so safe and easy. I stayed with a lovely host family in Beijing who treated me like their own daughter. I learned Mandarin fast, visited the Great Wall, and made friends from all over the world. I came home more confident and independent. GAC was helpful in every step, from visa, airport pickup, accommodation, Wi-Fi, SIM Card and everything. One thing was really surprising for me that China has it's own YouTube. If you're a teen thinking about it – just go!

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.

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.

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

summer in Beijing with GAC's high school program was unforgettable. As a 16-year-old traveling alone, I felt incredibly safe and supported by the friendly coordinators. My host family was wonderful, patiently helping me practice Mandarin every day. We had engaging language classes in the morning and spent afternoons exploring iconic sites like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City with new friends from around the world. I returned home not only with better Chinese but with more independence, confidence, and lifelong memories

The high school program in Beijing was my first time abroad alone. Between fun language classes, exploring historic sites with new friends, and the warmth of my host family, I gained confidence and independence I never knew I had. It was the perfect blend of learning and adventure.

Going to China with GoAbroadChina was my first trip outside my country as a high school student. At first, I felt nervous and shy, but I quickly made friends and started to feel comfortable. In the mornings, we had Chinese language classes, and in the afternoons, we joined fun cultural activities. I learned to write Chinese characters and even gave calligraphy a try—it was really cool! We visited amazing places like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, which felt like walking through history. I stayed with a local family who welcomed me like one of their own. They were kind and always happy to share their culture and daily life with me. After the trip, I felt more confident and open to new things. My Chinese speaking got way better in just a short time. This program was the perfect mix of learning, adventure, and fun.

Learning Chinese in China with Go Abroad China was super fun and really helpful. The teachers were friendly, and classes were small, so we learned a lot fast. I stayed with a local family and had to speak Mandarin every day, which made me better quickly. I loved going on trips to places like old gardens and temples, where we could use our new words. One time I even bargained in Chinese at a market—it felt awesome! We also did fun stuff like tai chi and making dumplings. After the program, I could speak more clearly, and China felt like home.

Studying abroad in high school through Go Abroad China changed how I see the world. I lived with a kind host family and studied at a local school where I made great friends. At first, I was shy and didn’t know Chinese, but the lessons and daily life helped me improve fast. I joined a calligraphy club and even celebrated Chinese New Year with fireworks and yummy food. My teachers were strict but caring, and I felt really supported. This experience helped me become stronger, smarter, and ready for college. I’ll never forget my time in China—it was a big step that changed my life.
