Silvia Martinel
Summer Camp 2025
We were thrilled with the incredible care GoEast showed our daughter Irene in China – the teachers were like extraordinary “adoptive parents,” letting us relax completely knowing she was safe and immersed. We wholeheartedly recommend GoEast for a safe, enriching, and impactful language experience.

Summer Camp 2025
We’re incredibly grateful for the exceptional Shanghai trip our 14-year-old son had; your impeccable organization and heartfelt care (especially the daily updates and unforgettable birthday surprise!) turned our anxiety into joy, giving him deep cultural immersion and new confidence. We truly recommend this program, especially to anxious parents like us, thanks to the team’s family-like dedication.

Jam
Summer Camp 2025
Our 16-year-old son’s two-week Shanghai program was one of the best summer experiences we’ve ever had – we were impressed by the flawless organization, 24-hour supervision, and outstanding communication that kept us involved, while he improved his Mandarin, gained cultural appreciation, and built independence. We highly recommend this program; it exceeded all our expectations.
