"CLI is run by people that don’t force you to go to tourist traps. Instead the sites visited are truly what you should see in China."- Nathan Smith, China Study Tour Summer 2010

With 20 classrooms, two full kitchens, several lounge areas and 36 private living spaces, CLI provides the perfect space to pursue full proficiency in the Mandarin language.

The majority of all students' coursework is one-on-one, while small group classes are also offered. Students work with several unique teachers along their path to full Mandarin proficiency.
