Nawa has a long history of providing educational opportunities while traveling in foreign countries. This summer, Nawa has again been invited to send students to China to teach conversational English to Chinese students. Nawa took advantage of an invitation three years ago, sending five high school students and one chaperone to the Chinese Hong Kong English School (CHES) for three weeks. Since that point, we have expanded this program and continue to receive invitations from CHES to return each summer. CHES is well respected and provides an excellent intercultural experience for American students. Nawa staff act as chaperones and students reside in private school dormitories also supervised by their faculty. Please note that a semester of credit is offered through our Global Cultures and Travel elective course.

Who is eligible?

Male and female students from America in grades 10 through 12 who have a history of responsible behavior and a desire to travel and meet students from another culture. CHES wants American students who are willing to carry on conversations in English, using slang and phrases common to American teenage culture.
