Now's the time to apply for the High School Yunnan Summer Academy (YSA): Chinese Language and Minority Cultures! We're accepting applications from all California high school students with at least intermediate-level Chinese - including incoming 9th graders. You do not have to be a CAIS graduate to attend this program!
This summer, 18 students with intermediate to advanced levels of Chinese will travel to beautiful Yunnan province, China, for one month of Chinese study, experiential activities, and travel. Supplementing and enriching the classroom curriculum, each student will complete an independent study project on a Yunnan-related topic of their choosing. These projects will include a short paper and a final presentation, to be given at the end of the program and at a special “China Night” event at CAIS in the fall.
Please find the application below! Please reference my earlier post for more information!
