Vision
The fundamental philosophy of ESEC is to promote genuine friendship between the people of China and the people of the United States.The guiding tenet of ESEC's partnership is mutual respect.Our cooperative relationship is one of equality. We do not send individual teachers:we send teaching teams.In the training of our teaching teams we also emphasize cross-cultural sensitivity. Equipping our teachers to work with their Chinese partners, we strive to integrate Western and Oriental approaches to education. We employ the latest teaching methodologies while giving close attention to the psychological and cultural habits of the students. As a bicultural organization, ESEC's goal is to overcome cultural boundaries and barriers while respecting he differences of the two cultures.
