Foundation Global Education offers custom-designed school trips to China for high schools in the West. Schools tells us their vision for the trip and, working closely with them, we draw on our extensive experience in both Western and Chinese high schools to design trips that are active and involving.
Our service differs from that of most travel agencies because our primary focus as a company is education. We plan visits to important historical sites in China, but we can also arrange visits to top Chinese high schools where American students can interact with their Chinese contemporaries in discussions on the environment, world economics, or college pressure. We can arrange homestays where students can experience first-hand contemporary Chinese lifestyles. We can provide educational information sessions with Chinese and expat experts on topics of particular interest to your students. With our extensive connections to community service NGOs, it¡¦s possible for your students to do community service, learn about some of the problems facing China, and roll up their sleeves and contribute to the well-being of the disadvantaged or help preserve and protect the threatened environment. Visits to high-tech factories and to poor rural villages can be included to help students grasp the great contrasts that are China in 2010. Having designed and led many student trips to China, we are keenly aware of how much a successful trip can increase the interest in China and Mandarin language classes for your whole school.
