Safest Landing in China Teachers vs. Backpackers Straight Scoop on the Z-visa Our Profit Sharing Plan
Safest Landing in China What do we mean when we say Kenneth’s English School is the safest landing in China? Simply that we try and make it the safest and easiest transition possible – especially when you arrive from abroad. Lets face it, uprooting and relocating across the world to a school in China can be risky. Some schools [...]
Teachers vs. Backpackers In China, the bar is lower than most other countries when it comes to being hired as a teacher. There are a lot of reasons for this, including inadequate screening procedures, wage scales offered, perceptions of the role of Foreign Teachers, etc. What this translates to, in some cases, is a nineteen year old high [...]
Straight Scoop on the Z-visa There is a lot of confusion over Z-visas. Let’s demystify things by first stating a Z Visa is the visa that allows you to legally obtain employment in China. It is good for thirty days (even though it is usually printed as being good for “000″ days) [see Z Visa image] and its purpose is [...]

Summer and Winter Camps

Summer and Winter Camps (Day Classes)

Twice a year, our school offers Summer and Winter Camps (day classes) for a four week period. These classes are taught during the day in addition to our normal evening and weekend classes. To see a graph showing our weekly teaching/holiday schedules, please click here.

It’s a busy period but the results are well worth it; the students love the classes and you can see the improvement in their English all during the rest of the year.

We don’t teach traditional curriculum during these periods. We focus on soft skills, science, nature, and craft activities.

Students spend all year in a competitive environment. Our first days in camp are spent learning how to be good citizens, cooperative, imaginative and considerate. We expose them to western culture, science, nature, history and other subjects not normally taught in training schools. We also do a lot of hands on craft activities.

Our camps are usually quite popular with students and often sell out all the seats a month before class begins.

We will typically teach between eighty and one hundred lesson plans during this period. All lesson plans and materials are provided to the teachers.
