Our teaching:
Our lead teachers conduct classes primarily in Chinese. To ensure optimal growth for students at every level, we implement:
-
Multimodal instruction: Every language concept is presented with audio, visual, and contextual support so everybody can follow easily.
-
Personalized learning goals: For example, some students focus on pronunciation and character recognition, while others work more on character recognition and writing.
-
“Big brother / big sister” TA model: Groups are paired with carefully selected high school teaching assistants who are fluent in Chinese for individualized attention. TAs are hired from local high schools, interviewed and trained by dedicated staff to ensure responsible and qualified teenagers in these roles.

​
Cancelation due to low enrollment:
If a camp group fails to meet the minimum enrollment two weeks prior to the start of the session, the camp will be canceled. Enrolled campers will be given a full refund. We will do our best to notify families of potential cancellations as early as possible.
​
Partial enrollment option:
We accept partial enrollment by the week. On the registration form, you’ll be able to select “partial enroll” and check your weeks.
However, we strongly encourage enrolling for at least two consecutive weeks (E.g. July 6-17; July 20-31) in order to participate in the mid-term and/or final performances. For maximal growth and language immersion, sign up for all four weeks! If you plan to travel for just a few days during a week, we will pro-rate the tuition for that week.
​​​​
Financial Aid Info:
We are deeply committed to making our camp accessible to families from all financial backgrounds. To make this possible, we set aside a portion of our tuition revenue to create a dedicated financial aid fund for families in need (determined based on the Oregon Department of Education free & reduced lunch application).
-
The availability of this fund depends on overall enrollment. We must reach a threshold of 64 enrolled students to sustainably activate the aid program.
-
Once we hit this goal, qualified families will be able to receive a reduced price of $200 per week.
Your support can make a real difference. Please share this webpage with friends, family, or community groups who might be interested. We will announce the FA launching here as soon as we reach the enrollment threshold.
​
Refer-a-Friend Discount: Spread the word • Save more
For every new family that enrolls and mentions your name as the referrer, you will receive $50 cash back off your own tuition. There is no limit to how much you can save.
​
Sibling Discount: 10% off for the second child
