CHINA
Sample Itineraries
China is the perfect place to take students on a program that immerses them in a range of subjects.
History students can dive deep into the country’s complex past, from dynastic imperialism to the rise of
communism. Geography students can collect information for case studies – the country’s rapid changes
over the last century make it a fascinating place to see the impacts of urbanization.
Whatever the educational focus, programs are filled with hands-on, interactive experiences. Students
can learn the ancient art of calligraphy, take part in a Chinese cooking class, experience a traditional
tea ceremony, and visit Chinese universities for lectures relevant to their curriculum.
China is the country that opens up fascinating new
perspectives on the subjects that students have been
studying at home. It’s the destination for an academic
travel program with a difference, one that the students
will learn from and remember for life, one that’s different
to the average educational tour or faculty-led program.
With curricula increasingly incorporating more of the
world’s arts and sciences, educational experiences in
China have never been more relevant.
