What is overseas study tour?
"Study tour" is neither a pure tour nor a pure study abroad. Its content runs through language learning and sightseeing, between travel and study, and at the same time it combines the contents of study and travel.

The countries studying abroad are mainly English-speaking countries, such as New Zealand, Australia, Britain and Canada. The age of students participating in the study is generally between 13- 19. According to different study tours, the age requirements have also changed. Because studying abroad is different from studying abroad, there is no rigid requirement for language. With the gradual opening of travel restrictions in the United States to China, college and middle school students are on the rise to study in the United States. The United States is the first target country for China students to study abroad. The study tour program will let more students know about the United States and prepare for studying abroad. In addition, studying in Europe is also a new route. Universities in many European countries are free of tuition fees and all kinds of benefits are good. Governments of various countries also have preferential policies for the employment of highly educated students, and the number of China students studying in Europe has soared year by year. More and more students will study in Europe.

Schools usually arrange interactive learning and simple social activities for Chinese and foreign students in the afternoon, and encourage students to communicate with local students and students from all over the world in the morning using the English they have learned in class. This instant learning method has been proved to be one of the most effective and fast ways to learn English, and it is also the reason why study tour is welcomed by students and parents.
