Gold Standard for Language Learning

A Chinese-only language pledge. Teachers with a worldwide reputation for excellence. One-on-one instruction plus small group classes. If you want to challenge yourself and see unbelievable results, you couldn’t make a better choice. But don’t take our word for it. After you’ve covered a year’s worth of Chinese in one term, you’ll see why ICLP is the gold standard.

Substantive Internships

Work at a startup incubator. Or go behind the scenes at the Taiwan Office of Trade & Investment or the US Department of Commerce. Whether you’re interested in the high-tech sector, politics, or the environment, we can land you an internship in the private, civil, or government sector. Figure out whether a career in Mainland China or in Taiwan is for you—and impress your future employer with strong Chinese and work experience.

Taiwan: Perfect location

A paradise for nature lovers, foodies, and entrepreneurs everywhere, there’s no shortage of opportunities to explore what interests you. Take advantage of Taiwan’s status as a key player in the high-tech industry with an internship. Feast at a night market. Watch a little league game. Bike the riverside. And if you decide to venture off the island, Mainland China is only a short flight away.
