High school Semester Program

Lotus Educational Foundation's High School Semester Programs are designed for high school students who are interested in taking up to half a year off to explore and learn in China. Through this program, participants learn Chinese language and traditional culture by living with a homestay in Beijing and taking intensive language courses. In addition to offering cultural activities and weekend excursions, Lotus is also happy to arrange volunteer opportunities, and travel itineraries.
