Eligibility:
Students entering 7th-12th grades in Fall of 2008
We welcome all students who are U.S. citizens to apply. Preference will
be given to students who are self-motivated and show long-term interest
with determination to study Chinese.
Levels:
Beginning and Intermediate
We will divide students into three groups based on their entering grade
levels in the 2008 academic year: 7th and 8th graders, 9th and 10th graders,
and 11th and 12th graders. Each group will then be divided into beginning
and intermediate levels, with 20 students in each class, for a total of
six classes.
After
the preliminary review, potential candidates will be contacted about conducting
a telephone conversation with the Hunter College faculty. The results
will be used for initial placement. There is no need to prepare for the
telephone interview.
Cost:
Free, if not for Hunter College credits
Commitment
Deposit:
$100 deposit is required at time of admission. The money will be returned
to students on the last day of the program.

child's name on the check. If we do not receive your deposit within two
weeks of acceptance, your child's application will be dropped and will
not be reconsidered.
