Mandarin Immersion in Taiwan

Let’s experience the language and culture together!

After several years of running our own Mandarin camps and enrichment programs in San Francisco and a successful 2019 (first) summer and winter in Taipei, we continue to provide Mandarin Immersion and Cultural Exchange programs each year. After a tumultuous pandemic period of 3 years, we welcomed many families back to Taiwan in 2023 and look forward to seeing new and familiar faces in 2024-2025.

Objectives

1) Provide a culturally immersive environment for students to learn and practice Mandarin with local children and teachers.

2) Continue to use fun and effective instructional methods to help students learn and practice Mandarin!

Programs

1) Setup short-term exchange programs with elementary schools in the greater Taipei area that allow foreign students to attend classes alongside local Taiwanese students.

2) Work with local schools and activity providers in the greater Taipei area that offer camp programs.

Providers

1) Similar learning framework and method as that of Sky Kids (i.e. project-based, progressive, and interactive learning).

2) Local schools with quality programs in the greater Taipei area (exclude international schools).

Local Support

1) For parents who are traveling with students joining our program in Taiwan, you will have access to local customer support to help answer questions related to travel, food, living, and/or local activities for parents and kids.

2) Students that are 9 or older can request our homestay add-on package. Our host families are reviewed and selected by us, just like in San Francisco (N.B. Parents cannot stay with host families but visits can be arranged.)
