Create New Opportunities

The Hutong School was founded in April 2005 in response to the growing demand of Western students, graduates and young professionals for internships and Chinese language courses in Beijing. We are committed to creating new opportunities for young talented students by linking them with both Chinese and international companies in Beijing.

East Meets West

Through our programs, we aim to enhance our students’ understanding and knowledge about Chinese language and Chinese culture. The location of the Hutong School in a traditional courtyard in the old centre of Beijing shows the importance we attach to an authentic Chinese atmosphere. At the same time, our students live in modern apartments in genuine Chinese neighborhoods, giving them the chance to discover the heart of Beijing, rather than living on a campus on the outskirts of town.  

Educational Excellence

We attach great importance to the quality of our Chinese classes and internships, enabling students to acquire both linguistic and professional knowledge about China. Our teachers are all highly motivated and talented college graduates with a passion for teaching Chinese to foreigners. Our partner companies are equally passionate about training young talented people and sharing their professional insights with them.

Global Perspective

With students and representatives from more than 20 countries worldwide, the Hutong School not only aims at introducing Chinese culture, but also wants to give students a chance to get a global perspective by exchanging views and ideas with fellow students from many different countries. At the same time, the city of Beijing is rapidly becoming a true metropolis, attracting people from all over the world.
