Summer Programs

No interesting trips at your school?
Still want to see the world?
You're not alone!!
If traveling abroad with students from around the country sounds like fun, then our independent student programs might interest you (and your friends!)
We organize a handful of programs each year for independent high school students.
(Independent students are those traveling without their teacher.)
Each program is staffed with a US-based Program Director and an assistant.
Just like our regular programs, we take care of all the logistics:
  • Flights
  • Accommodations
  • Breakfasts and Dinners
  • Ground Transport
  • Local Guides
  • Entrance Fees
  • Gratuities
And, just like our regular programs you can pay in easy monthly installments.

Interpret China

This two-week program for independent students commences with 5 days on a private school campus where you help teach english as a second language to Chinese students.
Chinese will be useful, but is not required.
The following 8 days you travel to four cities of significant historical, political, cultural, scientific and/or scenic interest: Beijing, Xi'an, Hangzhou & Shanghai.
This program provides a wonderful opportunity to develop friendships with english-speaking students in China, to visit four very different cities, and to develop your Chinese language skills (even if you arrived with none!).
