We are dilicated to intercultural exchange through language and custom learning.
Homestay accommodation is the cornerstone of all Lotus's language programs as we strive to completely immerse our students in Mandarin. Lotus speciallly designed an assortment of programs for students from every age group and ability.
Lotus is the oldest and most experienced homestay specialist in China. Our Learn Chinese with a Homestay Program has attracted more than 700 students over the past seven years and we continue to expand. To date, we choose your host family from a pool of over 1,700 local Chinese families.
In addition to being dedicated to education, Lotus also contributes to our communities. Each year we make a point to donate to various charities and relief efforts throughout the world. This past year all our proceeds went to the Sichuan earthquake relief efforts. We even organize optional charity excursions for all Lotus students to promote mindfulness and compassion toward the less fortunate.
