Who is KCE?

Konall Culture Exchange is an institute dedicated to the open exchange of culture and language between China and the rest of the world, one student at a time. We accomplish this goal by providing intensive and uniquely individual language and culture study abroad programs for English speaking students from around the world. Our staff has over four years experience in placing foreigners in work and study programs in China, and we have provided these services for over three hundred people.

What makes us different from the other study abroad companies?

Konall Culture Exchange is founded on three core principles, Quality of Service, Educational Merit, and fulfilling each students Personal Goals. We are dedicated to providing the best environment, instruction, and experiences possible in China for each individual student. We understand that in order to truly facilitate a cultural immersion, we must support our students’ personal goals. There are too many programs out there that treat their students like cash cows. Often students come away from China very disappointed as they are herded through over-generalized programs, overcrowded classrooms, sub-standard living conditions, and impersonal relations with their hosts.

At KCE we strive to be different. Not only do we provide you with the best Mandarin instruction available from our hand-picked and fully certified instructors, but we go out of our way to ensure that you personally have the richest experience possible. Outside of our courses and field trips, we understand that making contacts with Chinese people is a fundamental part of any immersion program, and we go to great lengths to facilitate this process for you. Not only do we provide you with a large number of introductions to our friends and relatives, our students have full access to an extensive network of personal and business contacts throughout the province that our founders have built over the last 20 years working in business and secondary education. Whatever your personal goals for studying or traveling in China, we can help you accomplish them in the most effective way possible.
