Program Objectives
Today¡¯s world is becoming increasingly globalized in all aspects. Thus, it becomes more important for our younger generation to better understand and appreciate diverse cultures from around the world. It is our vision that such mutual understanding is critical for our youths to contribute positively to the creation of a better future for the world.

How the Program Works
In this uniquely designed program, the Chinese students learn both English and the American Culture; at the same time, the American students learn Chinese Language and Culture. Certified teachers from China escorting the Chinese students will teach American students Chinese Language and Culture. In other learning and activities, students from both groups will mix together to build up friendship and to learn from each other.
