By welcoming a Chinese exchange student to your school, you bring a piece of China to your school and classroom. Exchange students can make presentations about their country, add a new dimension to Mandarin language classes and form lasting ties and friendships with students and teachers that last a lifetime.
AIFS Summer Advantage offers high school students the opportunity to spend 4 weeks studying for college credit at Nanjing University. Summer Advantage Nanjing is designed specifically to take full advantage of all that this historic former capital city has to offer. Daily Chinese language and culture classes are complemented by activities that show students Nanjing’s past from the Confucius Temple, Ming Tombs and Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum to the tree-lined streets, peaceful lake areas and the Yangtze River.
Education in China should not be limited to the classroom and 4 weeks should not be spent in Nanjing alone. That is why Summer Advantage Nanjing includes opportunities to study through guided excursions to Suzhou, historic Beijing (literally, “the capital of the North”), and Shanghai, the financial and trade dynamo of China.
The $500 MLEP scholarship can be awarded to a student in your school who plans to study in China with AIFS Summer Advantage.
