Learn Mandarin Chinese in China
Thank you for your interest in the IPSA Consortium
Chinese (Mandarin) Language School in Xiamen, China
Our goal is to offer Chinese Mandarin Language tuition to people from all over the world at the "Most Pleasant City in China". Our school offers intensive individual Chinese language courses at all levels in the resedential environment (one teacher - two students or one teacher - three students) and all classes are held in the Chinese teacher's home.
The base of the school's success is the creation of a perfect atmosphere in which the Chinese language becomes part of your daily life. You will live in the same place where you will receive your Chinese language training, offering you professional support 24 hours a day... Participants will not only learn Chinese for 15 or 25 hours a week during individual instruction, but also during breaks, meals and in cultural activities with their teachers.
Application Deadlines
Normally, we must receive a complete set of application documents and fees no later than 30 days before the program starts. Acceptance of late applications is subject to space availability.
Financial Aid
In many cases, it is possible for students to transfer much or all of their financial aid to IPSA study abroad programs presented on this site. However, students should discuss specific plans with study abroad advisers and financial aid counselors well in advance of the program. It is the student's responsibility to understand the home institution's requiremnents and deadlines regarding all financial aid funds.
Academic Credits
Students who wish to receive credit for our programs should contact the study abroad office or language department at your college or university prior to starting the program. Present your plan to them asking for detailed requirements on how to arrange credit in advance. With the detailed information from your home-campus, we can typically provide syllabae and other documentation to complete arrangements.
