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.
While some language schools accept tourist visas, Keats School recommends strictly applying for a student visa. We are a professional, established school that helps you make your application process easy, and we’re proud to say that Keats School has a 100% visa pass rate.

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.
ACCOMMODATION IS INCLUDED

Keats School is proud to offer students full accommodations with their tuition fees.
Our comfortable single dorm rooms are located in the same building as the school and in-house cafeteria. Most of our students pick to eat at our school because we offer a wide variety of Chinese dishes at every meal.

OVER 7000+ STUDENTS
HAVE STUDIED AT KEATS
I really had a wonderful experience at the school. The teachers are very very friendly. In my class, we practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing. We play games and other fun activities. We have trips around town. The staff at Keats is phenomenal. My teacher is one of the best teachers I have ever had in my educational experience. She comes in with a smile every day.
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.
So during my first week at Keats, I didn’t dare to speak any Chinese words. I found out that my Chinese level quickly improved since then. Although I have many options to study in China, for example, some other schools have homestay, I found I could immerse myself and fully focus on learning Chinese by staying at Keats.
All teachers are really lovely. The teaching level at Keats is so much higher. I really love the city. It is very comfortable to get around. I fully recommend Keats. It is a great place to study Chinese in China. We are looking forward to coming back again later this year.
It has been notable because I have met a lot of people who I met first time last year like me to come back to Keats this year. The teaching has been fantastic. The teachers carefully prepare each lesson. I think this one-on-one approach is really a great way to rapidly increase your level of Chinese and increase your confidence and fluency with the language.
All my classmates stay together for one year and we improved so much! The teachers at Keats are all very great. They like to organize a lot of activities to help us learn Chinese. I like Keats! I like Kunming!
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.
I think Keats is one of the best language schools I have ever been to. My teacher is such an amazing person. She is so good at teaching. She makes classes fun. I have learned a lot of vocabulary during my time here. I would really recommend coming to learn Mandarin Chinese at Keats School.
