Flexible Resources for Your High School Mandarin Curriculum
Our Mandarin programs help students grow their language skills and prepare for what comes next—whether it’s advanced coursework, college, or real-world use.
Prepare High Schoolers for a Global World
High school Mandarin should equip students with communication skills they can use in college, careers, and everyday life. That’s why our programs combine academic rigor with practical language use and rich cultural learning, helping schools deliver meaningful learning experiences that prepare students for life beyond the classroom.
We offer two online Mandarin programs for high school students:
Journeys Live delivers real-time Mandarin lessons to your classroom, led by China-based instructors via Zoom. Lessons are paired with our Journeys platform, which includes additional resources to reinforce what students learn in class. It’s a flexible way to offer Mandarin instruction, with meaningful cultural context woven into every session.
Journeys is a self-paced digital platform, featuring interactive video lessons, pronunciation tools, 3D games, and cultural activities for high school learners. Lessons are flexible and age-appropriate, supporting your existing Mandarin curriculum with resources that encourage exploration, confidence, and cultural curiosity.
