2012 HIGH SCHOOL BRIDGE PROGRAM
The High School Summer Program provides two weeks of Chinese language and cultural training in China each summer.  The Program is open to high school students in 9-12 grade, aging 14-18. Selected students need only pay for their airfare and visas; Hanban (the Office of Chinese Language Council International) provides all in-country expenses, including room, board, transportation, language instruction, cultural activities, and sightseeing tours. The program usually takes place during the month of July.

The Confucius Institute at IUPUI recruits applicants and also helps choose chaperons (1 per 9 students) but neither IUPUI nor the IUPUI Confucius Institute is an official sponsor of the program.
