Immerse yourself in language and culture during this dynamic two-week Mandarin workshop designed for learners at every level. Whether you are just beginning or looking to strengthen existing skills, students will build confidence in conversational Mandarin through engaging, interactive instruction tailored to individual proficiency levels.
The program is led by Ma Ya Tao, a veteran Mandarin educator with more than 20 years of experience and leadership in nationally recognized summer programs. With thoughtful differentiation and small-group support, instructors ensure that every student is both challenged and supported, making meaningful growth throughout the workshop.
Beyond the classroom, students deepen their understanding of Chinese culture through hands-on experiences in calligraphy, tai chi, traditional dance, and art. The workshop culminates in a celebratory showcase at 11:00 a.m. on the final day, when families are invited to see and celebrate all that students have learned and created.
