"My favorite part of the Immersion Program was my ability to direct the lesson in the heat of the moment, one-on-one, without worrying whether or not I was inconveniencing other students or slowing down the teacher. It was truly an education on my terms."
- Joe McReynolds, Fall 2009

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.
