Phoenix Tree International Education Center (PTIEC) is a subdivision of Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU). Established in 2012 in Chicago, we have been working closely with 1,300 schools and universities across North America for 8 years.
Since 2016, we have organized and held our China Trip programs for 7 years, with over 300 students and teachers participating in exchange and study programs in China each year. More than 21 schools have been involved in short-term programs focused on cultural understanding and language skill exchange between China and the United States.
Pioneering Chinese Language Education
Phoenix Tree Education is an organization under the Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU), a renowned institution in Beijing, China, that specializes in sharing Chinese language and culture through opportunities both within and outside of China. Established in 1962, BLCU is the only university in China that focuses exclusively on teaching Chinese language and culture to non-native speakers.
To learn a language is to live it; and as part of the mission to allow students to truly live the Chinese language, we believe in providing the experiences outside of the classroom that can enrich students' learning and remain as memories for years to come.
