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.

Jaq's Story at Keats The Inspiration of Chinese Tea

OVER 7300+ STUDENTS HAVE STUDIED AT KEATS

Jean | USA

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

I can’t tell you how much I liked it. The thing I liked about the teachers and the teaching method is that there is so much flexibility. The other thing I liked about the teaching is the combination of classic textbook learning and going outside. I loved it! I like getting to know other students. Everybody shared the same goal and that’s making their Chinese better. Kunming is a big city, but it is very safe to live here. Another thing I liked about Keats is the idea that people here help you. I can’t recommend it enough. I think it was a valuable experience. Looking forward to coming back!

Kunming is a great place to learn Chinese in China because not many Chinese on the street speak English. Keats has been a great school for me and a lot of other foreigners who studied in China recommended it to me. I think they are all right. The study method here is really structured. They make learning Chinese really easy. There are also a lot of cultural and natural places to visit.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

The best part of the school is the patience the instructors had and the time to focus on the fundamentals like pronunciation. I think it is very easy to skip over those and go to vocabulary. But by learning the pronunciation, I feel like it helped me gain a better understanding of the language.

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.

This is my second time coming. Last year, I also came for about 12 weeks. This time I came for 13 weeks of a summer program in China. The reason why I particularly want to come to this school was because of the one-on-one classes. I was able to increase my level and learn Chinese more quickly than in group classes. If I have a chance again to come next year, I certainly will.
