“I brought 21 children to Hainan Mandarin Academy for 11 days, and it was an unforgettable experience. The students had 8 days of Chinese lessons, plus exciting excursions: a safari park, exploring inside a volcano, and an afternoon at Movietown with its ancient architecture and recreations of Shanghai in the 1920s and Beijing in Mao’s time.
The school is very flexible. They adjusted everything to our needs and kept the children engaged and inspired. It was the perfect mix of learning and discovery, and I can highly recommend it.“

Our students loved every moment of their trip!

“I came with a group of 15 students from our international school’s Chinese department for a 12-day program to Hainan. The schedule was excellent, with 9 days of classes combined with cultural trips to the Movie Town. We saw Chinese lion dance, Chinese theater.
Our students also took part in a volunteering program with Chinese people, visited a high school, and joined events with local peers, which made the experience even more meaningful.
The teaching quality was very high, and my students improved their Chinese while also building a real connection with the culture. The HMA team was flexible and supportive throughout the program and adapted everything to our needs.
Both my students and I were very satisfied, and we returned home with memories that will have a lasting impact“

“A fantastic way to learn Mandarin and experience culture!“
