“Despite its relatively short history, Teach For China is already on the radar of my colleagues in admissions at Georgetown and our peer institutions. After learning more from your staff, I am even more impressed by the caliber of the program. At the Georgetown School of Foreign Service and other professionally-oriented graduate programs, we consider work experience to be a critical part of a successful application, and we appreciate students who have taken time out of their academic trajectories to pursue meaningful work opportunities like Teach For China.”
