India China Academy (ICA) is India's sole official Chinese learning and testing center in India under the Center for Language Exchange program. Our main goal at ICA is to facilitate language and cultural exchange between India and China.
At India China Academy (ICA), educational values are deeply rooted in fostering language proficiency, cultural understanding, and global cooperation. As India's premier institution dedicated to Chinese language learning and cultural exchange, ICA holds a pivotal role in promoting mutual understanding and collaboration between the two nations.
Central to our educational values is the belief in the transformative power of education to transcend borders and build bridges between diverse cultures. We recognize the importance of language as a vehicle for communication and mutual comprehension. Mandarin Chinese, being one of the most spoken languages globally, serves as a conduit for fostering connections between India and China, both culturally and economically.
At ICA, we uphold the traditional Chinese educational philosophy encapsulated in our school motto, "学而不厌,诲人不倦" (Xué ér bù yàn, huì rén bù juàn), which translates to "Never tire of learning, never weary of teaching." This ethos permeates every aspect of our academic endeavors, guiding students and educators alike towards continuous growth and enlightenment.
Our curriculum at ICA is meticulously designed to facilitate comprehensive language acquisition, encompassing listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Beyond linguistic proficiency, emphasis is also placed on understanding the rich cultural heritage of China, including its history, literature, art, and societal norms. Through a holistic approach to education, students gain not only linguistic fluency but also a profound appreciation for the cultural nuances that shape intercultural interactions.
Furthermore, education at ICA transcends the confines of the classroom, as we actively promote experiential learning opportunities such as cultural immersion programs, exchange visits, and collaborative projects with partner institutions in China. These experiences not only deepen students' understanding of Chinese culture but also foster meaningful cross-cultural friendships and networks that endure beyond academic pursuits.
In alignment with our commitment to educational excellence, ICA serves as India's official Chinese learning and testing center under the Center for Language Exchange program. Our accreditation ensures the highest standards of language education and certification, providing students with internationally recognized qualifications that enhance their academic and professional prospects.
As an institution dedicated to fostering language and cultural exchange, India China Academy stands as a beacon of enlightenment and cooperation in an increasingly interconnected world. Through our unwavering dedication to educational values and the promotion of cross-cultural understanding, we endeavor to inspire generations of global citizens who embrace diversity, dialogue, and mutual respect.

I started learning Chinese just for fun, but India China Academy turned that curiosity into real progress. Learning a language alone can be overwhelming, but ICA gave me clear structure, great lessons, and incredibly supportive teachers who made every class engaging and fun. l'd recommend India China Academy to anyone interested in learning Mandarin they truly offer the guidance and support you need.

I have completed HSK1 and HSK2 with India China Academy. I appreciate how meticulously the course design has been implemented, and the teachers were extremely skillful in their pedagogy. Over four months we covered considerable ground. Another aspect I really appreciate about the course is that special attention was given to Chinese characters. The course ensured that we work with the written characters.

I recently completed the HSK 5 course at India China Academy. Their teaching methodology was clear and effective, making even complex topics easier to grasp. The instructors were Native Chinese Teachers. What truly sets the academy apart is the level of support they offer, the learning environment was engaging and motivating, helping me build confidence in my Mandarin skills.

India China Academy has been a really supportive space for me, and I am genuinely grateful to all my teachers. They are approachable, easy to talk to, and always willing to help, something that really makes a difference in the learning experience. These interactions also inspired me to create a children's book on Chinese Mythology.

At India China Academy, the teachers have always supported my pace of learning — giving me advanced materials, challenging questions, and guidance whenever I needed it. Even when I wasn’t convinced by model answers, they were available almost 24/7 to explain. Learning Chinese is a long journey, but their encouragement and dedication have been my greatest source of strength.
