DSC Students Embark on an Unforgettable Cultural and Language Immersion Experience in China
Ten students from Dominica State College (DSC) recently returned from an exciting cultural and language immersion study tour in China, held from October 8–25, 2026. The tour was facilitated by Xidian University, DSC’s partner university for the Confucius Classroom, and provided students with a valuable opportunity to experience Chinese culture, history, language and education firsthand.
Accompanied by Mr. Shi, Mr. Gage and Mrs. Allicock-Joseph, the students explored three of China’s vibrant cities: Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. Their journey included visits to iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warriors Museum and the Shanghai Museum.
Beyond sightseeing, students participated in engaging cultural activities and educational sessions at Xidian University. They experienced Chinese calligraphy and painting, martial arts, shadow puppetry and traditional woodworking, while also learning about China’s history and the evolution of Chinese characters.
The experience offered much more than an opportunity to travel. It allowed students to step beyond the classroom, interact with a different culture, develop a greater appreciation for global diversity and gain meaningful exposure to the Chinese language and way of life.
For the ten students, this was an opportunity to learn, explore, make connections and create memories that will last a lifetime. Dominica State College is proud to provide opportunities such as these, which broaden students’ horizons and enrich their educational experiences.
