WE HELP WITH VISAS
This probably piqued your interest, so let’s start with this point.
Keats School helps students obtain a visa. We’re here to help you make the process easier. So much easier than we will actually take care of certain parts of the application for you.
There are two options when it comes to Visas and Keats School:
1. Apply for a 30/60/90/120/180-day X2 student visa in your country. Keats School will send you an official admission letter on behalf of the school and a copy of the school’s license.
2. Apply for an X1 student visa for language program longer than 6 months. Keats School will send you the JW 202 form and the official admission letter on behalf of the school to apply for an X1 student visa directly in your country.
Keats School is the first private Chinese language school in China to help hopeful students during the visa application process.

PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS
Keats Chinese teachers have a well-organized teaching system. Our teachers use the latest and professional teaching methods created and tested by the Keats team.
There’s a significant difference between teachers at Keats School and outside tutors. Keats teachers are highly responsible for their students, and they have rich and comprehensive experiences in teaching Chinese.
Every two weeks, our teachers meet for a Teaching Methods Conference, which we focus on exchanging teaching experience. At the conference, critical grammar issues and efficient learning methods will be discussed. The conference keeps Keats teachers always at a professional level. On top of that teachers take part in on-going training and are fully licensed.
Keats Mandarin teachers are well prepared for each lesson they teach. Their daily teaching syllabi and lesson plans are evaluated by the Teaching Quality Control Team every week.
We hope that having professional teachers makes you feel safe in your studies. We’re here to help you grow your fluency, and we want to do it in a professional and trained way.
When you become a student at Keats, you will have the chance to evaluate teachers every week through the Keats Feedback Form. This will help us with teacher training and our overall system.

OVER 7000+ STUDENTS
HAVE STUDIED AT KEATS
About studying Chinese here, I think the living condition is very convenient because the dorm is very close to the classroom. Our teachers really enjoy teaching Chinese. They are also very passionate. Compared with other cities in China, Kunming has really good weather.
I decided to learn Chinese in Kunming because I like smaller cities and I like the climate here. We had four hours a day study here and my dear teacher taught me very much and never lost her patience with me. It was a really wonderful experience to be here and I recommend Keats school and the teachers here to everyone who likes to learn Chinese in China.
My name is Sarah Fish. I am 81. I knew very little Chinese when I arrived. How was I going to survive 2 weeks of intensive Chinese course? I have to laugh when I think of that now. What a positive experience this has been! I really wish we could be here a little longer. The teachers are extremely encouraging, evaluating first how much someone knows, and then starting from there.
The place is very cool. I am with a great group of people in my class, so coming to classes is very enjoyable. It is fun, we have a lot of discussions, games, activities. Our teachers are also very good, very supportive. Learning Chinese is intimidating at the start because you have so many questions. But I would advise coming to Keats because the atmosphere for learning is great. It is very relaxing. I would recommend the school.
I come to Kunming because I think the environment in Kunming is better and I heard that Keats School is better. I like the small group Chinese class because my classmates study hard and our teachers are very good. I like the teaching method of Keats because I like the activities at Keats. I think Yunnan is a particularly beautiful Chinese province.
The visa application was really straightforward, because Keats School helps us a lot with that. Keats has a big emphasis on conversational practice, so we learn a lot of vocabulary and daily life plans which is very convenient for us to go around town and speak with Chinese people which is the whole point of learning Chinese in China.
One thing I really liked was that I was able to work with my teacher to make an individual plan of study. Another really nice thing is that you live at the school, you feel completely safe. You always have a group of people who are willing to do things with you on the weekends or in the evenings. They are serving you all the 3 meals a day, the food was excellent.
The teachers at Keats know how to read the students and how to help students learn Chinese language easily. They know the level of the students. I am a slow learner, but they managed to adapt to my learning. They made the class very fun, very exciting. I am pleased that not only I got to learn the culture and the language, but I also got to make amazing friends, really unbelievable, Chinese friends and European friends, American friends, from all over the world.
