Questions and answers about Hanbridge Mandarin School

Do you provide the information about the host family before the arrival?
“We'll surely provide homestay family information and contact in advance. Usually we'll have a WeChat group with the homestay family, student, parent and school staff. We'll communicate daily to provide support and supervision.”
Viola, Enrolment Team from Hanbridge Mandarin School - Nov 14, 2024
My son is 16 years old and he has never stayed in a host family before. Can you offer any alternative accommodation for him?
“If the student has an accompanying adult, they can feel free to book a hotel near the school. If he's on his own, then homestay is probably the only option as it's safe and convenient for a teenager and it provides a great opportunity for practicing Chinese and getting to know Chinese culture.”
Viola , from Hanbridge Mandarin School - Oct 30, 2024
