Now entering its eighth year, Taiwan Mandarin Institute’s Kid’s Summer Chinese Camp is Taipei’s most popular destination for international children who wish to learn Mandarin during the summer months, every year. The Chinese Language camp available for duration between 1-4 weeks will not only be fun and interactive, but by placing your child in a full immersion environment, ensures they will learn a lot of useful Mandarin and also begin practicing and using their new vocabulary almost immediately. During their visit to Taipei, children absorb information much quicker than adults and with 16 hours of intensive fun Mandarin each week coupled with minimal class time of the written element, your child will come away with potentially 200 additional words of Mandarin.
90 Day Landing Visa – No endless trips to local embassy! Many students from many nations qualify automatically for the 90 day landing visa which is granted at the airport in Taiwan. Please check the list of visa exempt countries on our website and see if you are eligible!
Class Level Assessment – Taiwan Mandarin Institute’s kids camp splits operates three different levels simultaneously- This means that is the case of two siblings or friends at different levels, they can still go to and leave the school as same times of day as all classes start at 9am. Kids will be split into different level classes such as Beginner, Lower Intermediate and Advanced. Regarding ages groups, we usually group together 4-7 age groups 7-14 age groups.
Cost of Living & Class sizes – It’s no great surprise to hear that the cost of living and studying in Shanghai or Beijing as steadily risen over the past few years – As a city becomes more popular for learning languages, then the class sizes increase to match demand- All children’s Mandarin classes at Taiwan Mandarin Institute will not exceed 12 person(s), which allows every child more opportunities for interaction and learning. Teachers can also provide more guidance, with this small class size.
Taiwan Mandarin Institute is located in the city center of Taipei. Just 2 minute’s walk from the nearest metro station you will find the school located on the 2nd and 12th floors of a large multistory building. The school consists of all the modern learning materials such as a library, fully serviced reception desk with native English speaking staff, full audio visual facilities in each class room and free wifi throughout the building.
