Live as Family. Learn as a Global Citizen.
Funded University Language Program + Host Family Homestay
Founded in 2011, LoPair Au Pair China has been a trusted name in cultural exchange between China and the world. Our name comes from the French "à égalité" — "on equal terms" — and that principle guides everything we do.
Today, we are proud to introduce Live-Learn China, our flagship program designed specifically for youth students seeking academic credit, language immersion, and authentic homestay experience — all under the same commitment to mutual understanding that LoPair Au Pair China has stood for over a decade.
