CSCA Preparatory Classes
Prepare for academic success in China with our comprehensive China Scholastic Competency Assessment program.
What is the CSCA?
The China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) is a comprehensive evaluation designed to measure an international student's readiness for academic life in Chinese universities. It assesses language proficiency, cultural awareness, and academic preparedness.
Many Chinese universities now recommend or require CSCA preparation as part of their admissions process. Students who complete the program demonstrate higher academic performance and faster cultural adaptation during their first year.
Our preparatory classes are designed by experienced educators who understand the specific challenges international students face when transitioning to the Chinese academic environment. The curriculum is continuously updated to reflect current university requirements.
