Taihu International Leader Camp

International Leadership Camp is an exciting summer immersion program designed for exceptional USA Middle School aged students.  Based just over 1 hour outside of Shanghai, China, the Taihu Great Learning Center and International School provides a pristine 200 acre campus and world-class boarding school environment where our campers can focus on building friendships, learning Mandarin and exploring the beauty of Chinese Culture.  With a 2:1 teacher ratio, students can look forward to a personalized, supportive curriculum that will allow them to achieve their goals.  Our campers will learn up to 300 Chinese characters in just 3 and a half weeks with highly personalized classes for any level of experience with Mandarin.  No prior Mandarin study is necessary,  and if your child has been studying Mandarin, teachers will bring them to the next level of learning!  

Our upscale junior boarding environment includes beautiful modern and fully sustainable dorms and classroom buildings that includes air conditioning and marble bathrooms.   The Taihu Great Learning Center's pristine campus is  next to Tai Lake.  On-site organic gardens provide 60% of our campers meals, with the rest carefully sourced through verified organic lines.  A fun, exciting athletic program featuring Kung Fu from Master Teachers from Shaolin Temple, Meditation from one of China's influential spiritual teachers, Chinese Medicine from respected masters, Yoga, Tennis, Golf, Basketball, Boating on Tai Lake are just the beginning to perfectly compliment to our excellent Academic Program.  Our parent program allows accepted camper's families the chance to share this experience in a 5 star hotel on campus.  

Only 50 students will be accepted Nationwide.  International Leadership Camp Students not only have the opportunity to make friends and experience the culture with Chinese peers, they have the chance to act as Ambassadors of Western Culture in the truest sense.  2014 Program Dates: July 3rd- July 27, 2014.  For More Information Contact-
