WHY DINE AT KEATS

Adjusting the authentic Chinese food into a more healthy Way

Authentic Chinese Cuisine: Keats Cafeteria uses fresh produce to prepare delicious Chinese food with top-quality oil. Keats students enjoy eating at Keats Cafeteria as it is a place to meet other students studying Chinese and to get to know the Keats teachers.

FRESH INGREDIENTS

Organic, root-to-stem dining

Inspired by Yunnan minority cuisine and crafted in accordance with the earth’s natural rhythms, Keats Cafeteria believes healthy dining is critical to your Mandarin Chinese language course in China. This can keep you energized. We use fresh meat and vegetables and maintain five-star hygiene standards.

AVAILABLE CHOICES FOR VEGETARIANS

Earnest, approachable cooking in a modern way

Yunnan is famous for its plant variation. There are a great number of green vegetables that can only be found in Yunnan. We offer 3 to 4 options for vegetarians each meal. You can enjoy the art of vegetarian cuisine from a remote part of China.

CONVERSATION WITH OTHER STUDENTS

A Chinese-Only table for you to practice your Chinese

Keats Cafeteria is the best place to meet other students and widen your social network when you learn Chinese in China. It is also a good opportunity to practice your Chinese with Keats teachers during meal times. In order to get the most out of the intensive immersion Chinese program, we have Chinese-Only tables where you can only speak Chinese during meal times. This forces you to immerse yourself in a pure Chinese language environment.

FAQ

If I don't eat at the school, can I get a refund?

Meals are offered as a free service to bring convenience to the students, so students don’t have to rush out for meals if they have classes next. You are not billed for meals, so we are unable to provide a refund if you don’t eat here.

Please note: the free meals come with accommodation at the school. If you find your own accommodation and only take classes at Keats, free meals are not offered, and you can purchase them separately.

Are meals offered during the weekend?

No. The meals are only offered Monday to Friday. Students are welcome to join our Saturday excursions and travel on their own during the weekend.

What are meal options outside of the school?

Because the Kunming campus is located in the city center, there are many fancy restaurants in the shopping malls nearby or street food shops in small alleys.

Are meals only offered at the Kunming campus?

Yes, free meals are only offered at the Kunming campus. For other locations that have beautiful scenery and are famous for their minority culture, you will have many choices for meals to try local food. You will also have the chance to have meals together with your teacher at locations outside of Kunming.

I found Keats to be very good, teachers are excellent and really take the students seriously. Kunming is the best place to learn Mandarin in China. The environment is awesome, no pollution. The air quality is great, good weather. The people here are very friendly. I come to take classes every day. I feel comfortable studying Chinese at Keats. I learned so many things, although I only studied at Keats for 2 months. I am really satisfied with my teacher. For us foreigners, Keats is the best Chinese school in China. Therefore, I would highly recommend Keats to all of you.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

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.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

It doesn’t matter what level of Chinese you have, or even you can start from the zero level. Your teacher will prepare the lessons according to your requirements. The advantage of living in the school is that you will have your tutoring, you will have your private accommodation with your own bathroom and all the meals provided. I highly recommend everybody to actually take the whole package because you get to meet other students.

Mike | Australia

Small Group Chinese Class

I think Kunming is a great city, the weather is really good. I really like Keats school and found it is very organized. The teachers here are very good. They have a coffee shop and new classrooms, a new lounge area here now, so you can chill out with your friends and practice your spoken Chinese with natives. If you’re considering coming to Keats to study, I would really recommend it. It’s the best place to learn Mandarin and I think it will be a great experience for you.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

I really enjoy this place because we have private Mandarin lessons. I took the 6-hour program, 4 hours in the morning, 2 in the afternoon. Even though it is quite a lot, the teaching is complimentary. This is very helpful because I could review what I did before and learn new things. My 2 teachers are fantastic. We live in the school, so it is convenient. It is interesting to me to meet people from all over the world.

I’ve had a really great time here. I’ve studied a lot with my teacher who was fantastic. Keats School tried very hard to match its students with really good teachers that their personality works very well together. I really enjoy studying Chinese at Keats and I will definitely come back.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

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.
