Mandarin Course for Chinese Travelers

As we get ready for our April 2012 China Tour, Mr. Jin Hu, who many of our travelers has met is teaching another introductory Chinese course at Manchester Community College. The course is designed for beginners!  This Mandarin Chinese course meets once a week on Wednesday evenings (7:00 - 9:00 PM) from June 22 through July 27.

Additional information and details on the course are avialble by clicking here. 

 

This is a great opportunity to pick up several words and phrases in Mandarin before we travel in April 2012.

Also, we have been informed that both of our sister schools (The JiGang Senior High School in Jinan and the Bowen Middle School in Tai'an) will be visiting us this fall (most likely October) with administrators and students.

Details to follow shortly!

This is the first time our sister schools have come to Connecticut!

Bolton's China Tour

In April 2010, Bolton High School traveled with 55 students, teachers, parents, and community members to China to visit our sister school in Jinan, the capital city of the Shandong Province.  It was an unforgettable exchange of cultures for our students and all of our travelers.  With music as the common language, students performed for each other and shared gifts.  By the end of the visit, the world seemed a little smaller.

We are excited that our sister school, JiGang Senior High School, will visit Bolton High School in October 2011 and we are actively making preparations for their stay.  We will also continue our sister school agreement (which was initially a three year agreement) in a formal ceremony during their visit.

In additon, Bolton High School returns to China in April 2012.  A copy of itinerary is available by clicking here.
