Opened in response to the growing demand of Western students, graduates and young professionals for internships and Chinese language courses in Beijing, Hutong School is committed to creating new opportunities for young talented students by linking them with both Chinese and international companies in Beijing. Through our programs, we aim to enhance our students’ understanding and knowledge about Chinese language and Chinese culture. The location of the Hutong School in a traditional courtyard in the old centre of Beijing shows the importance we attach to an authentic Chinese atmosphere. At the same time, our students live in modern apartments in genuine Chinese neighborhoods, giving them the chance to discover the heart of Beijing, rather than living on a campus on the outskirts of town.
